Danny took up a position at the end of the table close to Ivan, his arms folded across his chest, his mouth set in a hard line, his eyes hooded and smoldering. “Morning, Kesney,” Carla said. “What’s so important that it brings you out before breakfast?” Carla’s voice and expression were so unencouraging Kesney seemed to hesitate. Maybe he wasn’t completely insensitive. “I’m not sure whether I should say anything.” “If you are not sure, why not wait until you are?” Ivan asked. “I would if I thought my daughter would listen to me. Since she won’t, I’m hoping Danny will.” Danny’s demeanor changed immediately. “What did you do to Beth?” “Nothing like what you’re thinking.” Kesney was so obviously uncomfortable Ivan started to feel sorry for him. It had to be difficult for a father to a raise a daughter alone, especially when brought into conflict with a young girl’s idealistic vision of love and happiness. Ivan wasn’t prepared to say Kesney had spoiled his daughter, but he had protected her from the realities of life and let her have her way most of the time.
