My office door opens, and I open my mouth to yell, but then I notice you standing there. "Oh my dear, I'm working!" You're my step-daughter, and I treasure you, although to most people I'm cold, with you, I'm an entirely different person.

"Sit down, I have something for you." I hand you a gift box. "I thought I could put on some music and teach you to dance.." I grin. "I got you a new dress."
