Chapter 12 - Amy’s Parents Arrive In Nashville To Support Us

Amy ran out onto the front porch and collapsed into her mother's arms, weeping tears of pure release. "Oh, honey, we are so sorry we weren't there to protect you," Susan whispered, stroking Amy's hair tenderly.
Robert shook my hand firmly, his eyes burning with protective fury as he looked at our home. "I heard what happened, Connor, and nobody touches my daughter and grandson ever again," Robert declared resolutely.
