Unlike Celine, Phillip made no attempt to greet Rafael. There was only one thing he had to do since he promised Annalise.

"I take back stabbing you with my sword," Phillip said, feeling like he had done his part since the apology was over with this.

Annalise's hands itched to pull on her father's ears as she scolded him like her grandmother said she had to do when he was young. "What kind of apology was that?" Annalise asked, looking to her mother for help. If that was her father's best apology, he could keep it. "An apology should have sorry in it."

Celine placed her on her hips, displeased with the apology. She heard from Annalise how Rafael tried to stop the guards from attacking them and shielded her right before a loud noise was heard. 

Phillip's told a different story, but knowing her husband, he was bending the truth. How were they to get to know the man their daughter picked if Phillip was going to drag out something so small?
