Alex showed clear discomfort, thinking to himself, "Why are you coming here after fighting with my daughter? She's my daughter, of course I'm going to defend her."
Dave, sensing Alex's unwelcoming attitude, responded, "I didn't want you to get involved. It's just that I had nowhere else to go after leaving, so I ended up here."
He made his situation sound pitiful. Although he claimed not to want their involvement, deep down, he hoped they would take his side and help resolve the issue.
Cassy, unable to stand seeing him like this, walked over and invited him to sit on the couch, "Alright, tell us what happened. Why did you two argue?"
Dave then told AlexCassy about Laurent's plan to be sent to A.T. for a year. After saying this, he quickly clarified his position:
"I think after everything we've been through, it's better if we don't separate again. It wouldn't be good for our relationship or for Emma."
