Kassi was silent for a moment as she thought about her father's question. It was a valid one and Kassia rifled through her memories to see if anything was inappropriate where Shaw had been concerned. There was only one thing that chewed at her, a half-forgotten afternoon when Shaw had her alone in his study, playing with her hair and spreading compliments as though they were jam. Tina had walked in and was instantly angry. She'd yanked her sister back by the arm and told her to get out before turning to look at Shaw, her voice without fear as she told him to leave Kassia alone.
At the time, Kassi hadn't understood. Now she did and as the memory clicked in with meaning, she felt her chest go cold from the inside out.
"No. Tina wouldn't permit it. He never even had a chance to try, Daddy."
A lie of sorts. But Kassi had learned from a master how to make the truth appear cleaner than it was.
"He never hurt me. I was safe."
