Calvin Hardy (Kevin) has been devastated since his stepchild,
Isabella Nice (Marie), vanished from their home. It appears she's disappeared without a trace, and he can't comprehend the reason. He constantly revisits their final moments as a family, hoping to find a clue, but to no avail.
She's vanished, and he has no clue if she'll ever return. However, when Marie unexpectedly reappears, Kevin is ecstatic. until she discloses that the cause of her departure was HIM. Kevin is stunned, fearful that he's committed some error, but Marie delivers another shocking revelation - she departed due to her emotions for HIM. Once Kevin grasps that Marie is confessing she is emotionally and sensually drawn to him, he is horrified. They are a stepfather and stepdaughter duo! She can't possibly harbour such feelings for him! What would his spouse, Marie's mother, think??
Marie's countenance becomes sombre.
She concedes she is envious of her mother, distressed that her own mother appears indifferent to her absence. Her mother shows no concern for HER and she most certainly doesn't care about Kevin. at least not in the way Marie does. but if Kevin can't reciprocate her feelings, then Marie has no option but to depart once more. If Kevin wishes to keep his stepdaughter near, he may have to bond with her in a manner he's never before contemplated.
