Quentin nodded quietly. "I get it, on some level. Even if I gave my kid up for adoption. Something inside you changes when you have kids. Even if you don't get to keep them, something changes. Your life stops being about you. I don't even know if I know how to put it into words, but from the moment I knew Milo even existed, all I wanted to do was do whatever it took to take care of him. It just meant that giving him up was the best thing I could do to achieve that. It hurt like hell. It still does. I wasn't sure I wanted to go on. It felt like I had nothing left to live for. Accidentally hearing about Tanner, I realised how all that was still in me, even if I didn't have my own son anymore. Lorenzo is the same. He is one of the most strong people in this world, though to him, it probably doesn't feel like he is. He would kill and die for his little girl, and I'm glad he got to keep her. Not through her mother's family sticking their nose in and trying to get her taken from him because they thought it was his fault Mara suicided. That he didn't take care of her enough."
"He said he can try. I understand he's a complete professional and won't promise or guarantee outcomes like shady attorneys would to get your money out of you. He was honest in that it was a shot in the dark, but because I'm actually innocent, it would be worth it to any future proceedings that might happen with Tanner. I just don't know. I feel more confused than ever now." He shrugged helplessly. "He said letters of support would help, but I wouldn't know where to start with that. Most people I know these days are because Kevin knows them and that's... a bone of contention enough already. There's Lorenzo, and he would gladly do it, but he's got so much on his plate right now as it is. I wouldn't want him needing to stand up in a hearing like that if he needed to and give a character witness. It just feels like all a huge mess. I feel like I have this constant tension headache. But honestly, Tanner is up crying a lot of nights. It goes with the territory."
Epic fail! That's why I love our rp tag.
