If he wants to see you, added bonus, but if he doesn't - then it's his loss. Don't take it ilke that. He's never met you. If he doesn't wanna meet you, he's an idiot and he's missing out on meeting an awesome chikka." Cut and dry was Cameron's speciality.

"Look.. you're going to regret not doing this, if you don't. And if you do, and it doesn't work out, you're not going to take it as rejection. No. It's just going to be a door closing in your life to open a new one. And I just sounded like weirdo hippy retard there. But.. it's true. You gotta take the chance."

And she had no idea if the advice she was giving was helping.. at all.
This ... well it was probably harder than sitting twelve NEWTs, then sitting another twelve in subjects you didn't even take. Explaining things like this was hard for anybody, seemingly harder for Lori. Because in her head, all this was right. What she was saying, was philosophy.

Yet, maybe... somewhere deep down, under all the pink and glitter, she knew Cam was right.

"He still might be my dad. I don't care if he wasn't there. Having Dakota say she never wanted me, and that she had a feeling I would turn out like her... was probably the worst feeling ever. Every kid that knows they're adopted... just thinks about why they were abandoned. I had all these idea's... and none of them were right. They were all wrong. Because... well.... I didn't think it honestly was because she was unfit to be a mum. A-- and... I... know he just didn't even know about me. But... it's like... I've got nothing now, 'cept you, Sarah, Ad and Donnie.. It's like..." Finishing her sentence proved unbearable, and she just sighed, wiping at her water filled eyes.

Why was Cam so... good at this? Lori betted Cam thought she was just making it worse. Truth? She had made it better. Just in a few short words. 'Take the chance.'

Giving the owl the treat, Lori watched as Arizona flew out into the distance, and quickly looked up at Cam. "There..." Done.

Now why did she feel even worse?
