This is my first experience as a father, and my emotions overwhelmed me to the point where I hurt you," he continued a blend of regret and acknowledgment in his tone.
When he ordered that I be taken to the chamber and locked up until he deemed it fit for me to leave, Gavin intervened.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he demanded, rushing down to confront Nexus.
