This was such a moment for Kameron: a moment of clarity. For the first time, he saw her not as his sweet little girl but as a woman who is not afraid to speak up for herself, establishes boundaries, and perfectly capable of fighting her own battles. Perhaps Nadia was right; he worried for nothing because she had always been that person. But, he couldn’t help it. Her life was so complicated from the drama with her mother, being a child star, and finding her place in the world–even within their family. He always regarded her like a china doll so he wouldn’t add more pressure to her pain points. Also, as his firstborn, everything about Melany was always brand new as she continued to grow and experience new chapters of life. Maybe that was the core of his fear: not Melany’s fragility but the unknown. She was such a wonderful young lady, and he knew whatever lurked in the darkness of the unknown, she’d lead him with confidence and strength.
