Can't run, can't hide

[Wade Calhoun]

Hey
Wrong

She calls us both dad.
She's got a two for one deal now

[Declan Finnigan]

Then you're the pushover dad

You spoil her far too much
And don't think I don't see you sneaking out for ice cream in town

[Wade Calhoun]

Hey you can't spoil a kid as sweet as her!
A little ice cream never hurt nobody.

[Declan Finnigan]

That's the kind of thing a pushover dad would say 😑

[Wade Calhoun]

So's that the real problem?

I'm not trying to take over your role in her life
But kids need all kinds of role models

[Declan Finnigan]

No, the real problem is, Wade, that we can't raise our daughter to think that she can go around making puppy faces to get what she wants

And I'm not jealous. She does need different role models but one of them can't be

I just
called her our daughter didn't I?




...

[Wade Calhoun]

You did.

You really did.

[Declan Finnigan]

I

...
No

*broken*

[Wade Calhoun]

Hey now
Not a bad thing, is it?
She's so happy. And that's the real important thing

[Declan Finnigan]

...
She hasn't been this happy since her mother
Was alive

I guess I've been parenting alone for so long that it
I'm not used to having anyone around other than Lily

[Wade Calhoun]

It's been nice for me too
Been traveling on my own so long I almost forgot what it was to have a family.

[Declan Finnigan]

So we're
Your family now?

[Wade Calhoun]

Isn't that what we were saying?
Or did I read the room wrong?

[Declan Finnigan]

No
Yeah
No I just

Didn't expect it to hit that hard
To hear you say it
See you write it

[Wade Calhoun]

You've been on your own too long too.
People are pack animals, even if we're a small one.
