It was obvious that Dar was proud of who his father had been and to Charlie he sounded like someone Gotham would have needed. She took another bite of chocolate and chewed it slowly as she listened. Though she didn't voice it, all Charlie could think was how much she wished her own father was like Dar's. Willing to give up his stupid business to take care of her, teach her how to ride a bike and do father daughter things. Instead it was her brother who fulfilled that role.
"Hey, I've heard that people sometimes give up everything for the one's they love," she said impulsively. A flash of headlights passed thought her mind and Charlie remembered just how true that was. For a brief second an expression of grief passed over her face before being immediately replaced by a friendly smile. There were certain things Charlie did not want to think about on this joyous holiday.
She took another bite of her chocolate bar as she thought of a way to answer Dar's question about her parents. Charlie could tell him the truth, that her dad was the wealthy founder of the number one import/export and delivery company in the world who was married to a woman of old money with many rich friends in her social circle. The name Albert Rudolf name as well known as Bruce Wayne or Oliver Queen but people still talked about how much they gave to charities or attended parties. "All I know is that my folks have no time for me, they made that perfectly clear a really long time ago when they left me and Harris by ourselves," Charlie took another bite of chocolate hoping to hide the small lie.
In an effort to change the subject Charlie spotted the decorative tree, “OH! Lets try to guess what you got for Christmas!” She grabbed Dar’s hand and started pulling him to the living room.
