Time Has Passed
Dale made a concerted effort to establish a rapport with his daughter. Spending time together gave him the impression that she was doing well. He thought she was holding back, though. He believed he needed to be doing more, despite the fact that nothing was perfect.
He Did Everything
Dale tried his hardest to be the greatest father he could be as time went on, and he did everything he could to win Lise’s trust. He wanted her to feel at ease telling him everything. Despite his best efforts, he felt as though something was still being withheld, stopping everything from being perfect.
