Ever:
Trust.
It was something I didn't do anymore.
There was one person I trusted beyond measure, and this time, he wasn't there to help me.
I was going to have to put my faith, my life, in the hands of the people who had failed me so miserably for most of my life.
I didn't have a choice because his life was the one on the line now.
I needed him back at any cost.
Even if that meant I'd have to rely on them.
Deck:
We had a few good years before it all went sideways. When I realized why I was taken, I knew that even if I got out of there, I might still lose her forever. There was no way she would forgive me for this, even if everything wasn't as it seemed.
Double-D:
I had already failed her as a father. Coming out of retirement was the only option though. I couldn't go back and make her childhood right, but I could make sure she got her happily ever after, or I'd die trying.
