A delivery man, Daniel (Ken Feels), arrives at the home of a teen, Carrie (Penelope Woods), with a package. As Daniel gives Carrie the package, he hears a man sounding aggressive inside. Daniel becomes concerned, but Carrie nervously closes the door on him.
Over the next while, every time Daniel delivers a package to the household, his suspicions that there’s trouble within the family grows. He suspects that Carrie’s old man is harming both his wife and Carrie, but Carrie keeps denying anything’s wrong, leaving Daniel becoming more and more desperate to help. Finally, Daniel decides to take matters into his own hands since no one else will.
That fateful day, Daniel delivers a package of vitamins for Carrie’s old man, but this time he seems a bit nervous. He tells Carrie to be sure to give the vitamins to the man of the house. It’s for him and ONLY him. When Carrie assures Daniel that she will and closes the door, Daniel takes a breath.
Two years later, Carrie is much happier and carefree, and Daniel is now her new stepfather. It’s revealed that Carrie’s old man suddenly passed away from cardiac arrest two years ago and that Daniel eventually married his widow. Now all is right in the world…
Carrie is thrilled that her old man is gone, insisting that her life’s been so much better since his passing. Her old man was cruel and now that she’s no longer living in fear, the way everything came together feels almost like a gift. She’s so thankful for the change and to have Daniel as her loving stepfather. In fact, everything came together so nicely that she feels like someone’s been watching over them. All she wishes is that she had someone to thank for it all.
As Carrie shares her gratitude and wishes, Daniel looks nervous. Daniel asks her if she means wanting to thank someone for getting rid of her old man, and she says yes. That’s when he confesses to having a hand in the old man’s demise. Daniel says he just couldn’t watch Carrie suffer any longer, so his actions were all for her sake – to give her the normal life that she deserved. But to Daniel’s shock, Carrie not only expresses gratitude for his actions but lust for him!
He tries to tell her those thoughts are inappropriate while wrestling with his own forbidden thoughts. Carrie points out that the steps he took were very extreme for someone who had only innocent intentions… and that maybe subconsciously he WANTED her.Although Daniel tries to deny this, he suspects that there was something more to it after all this time, too. That’s when Carrie turns on the charm, managing to convince Daniel that there’s really only one way to find out…
