Though to be completely honest, there were some...
Some dark days. Where I thought Brooke's hooks
would be in Dad forever. But those days are gone,
in part due to the CPS call, and the lies that followed...
And Dad was again reminded what he has in you and not in Brooke.

and a woman he could spend the rest of his life
with loving and being loved. That's why he's
marrying you, Mom. Not because of what Brooke did.

because of something Brooke did. You're doing it 'cause you
love her, and you really want to be with her.

Mom would never do that, and she would never lie to you,
and she never cheat on you. It's 'cause she loves you.
