The divorce had been a trying time for everyone. Robert Watson knew in the back of his mind that his ex-wife was going to try to cast him as some sort of villain. She'd mention that he liked to drink or the fact that he worked abroad too much. She would try to make their very famous daughter hate him and look at him with the same derision she did. He couldn't let that happen. He loved his daughter too much and he needed her on his side. It would kill him to have her out of his life.
The forty-five year old had moved out of the family house and was staying in a fairly small apartment. It was furnished and was quite nice, but without any bells and whistles. He'd invited Emma to join him there, intent on turning her against her mother before she had a chance to do the same to him. He had always looked at Emma as the perfect embodiment of all of his ex-wife's best features. She was an angel and he couldn't wait to get across to her how badly he needed her in his life.
The divorce came pretty quickly and was more a result of Emma's mother. She was the one constantly unhappy and always looking for something to complain about. It had become so incessant that Robert would often just take long drives to escape the torment. He realized as much as she did that it was no way to live life and the slip came amicably.
He straightened up the apartment and headed into the bathroom to check his reflection in the mirror. The father stood at 6'1, with sandy brown hair and intense blue eyes. He was lean and fit, wearing a button down shirt and a pair of slacks. His hair was parted to one side and as he gazed at his reflection, he nodded his head approvingly at himself. He was a handsome man and he wanted to look his best for Emma. Taking a deep breath, he rehearsed everything he'd thought about saying to her over and over again in his mind before returning to the living room to wait for her.
