"No, he's not," Mr. Hannity said with a stern correction.

"You did not abandon us in a time of need, and you did not choose to be absent." He looked at his son.

"Your mother made a reprehensible choice a long time ago, and I will not let you blame Madison for the results of it. I thought we understood each other."

“But Dad --"

"This was a mistake," Madison said.

"Maybe we should just go back to the airport --"

"Madison, you promised me at least the weekend," William Hannity said, his voice pained.

"Please don't take that away from me."

Morgan kicked her brother in the shin.

"Yeah. Don't listen to the pipsqueak."

Madison looked from brother to sister and back.

“I'm not trying to take anything from you guys," she said.

“I never wanted to cause problems with your mother or your brother."

“I can't even imagine Mom doing what she did," Morgan said honestly.

“And Alvin's an ass."

"Morgan," her father said disapprovingly.

“He IS!" she replied angrily.

“He was always a bully, but to pick on her and then beat her up and hate her for being blind? Is it because she's a girl or because she's our SISTER that pisses me off more about that? Hmm, let me think on that one. And for what? Because he wanted our trust fund split three ways instead of four? Poor baby!"

Heda decided she Liked Morgan.

"Seriously Timmy, what if it was you, and Mom gave you away because you were born without a personality?"

"Don't answer that," her father said.

"Though she has a point. About putting yourself in Madison's shoes I mean."

Timothy had no response, but he was given a reprieve.

"Here we are," Morgan said.
