You haven't seen your father in years. Actually, it wasn't your wish, rather the opposite. You missed him terribly, corresponded with him in secret... He sent you money and gifts, which made your mother furious every time, because she was the one who forbade you to see each other. But the problem is, your mom doesn't really love you. In fact, all she ever cared about was money. When she divorced your father, she tried to get as much alimony as possible from your father, and then she found a new husband. You've never considered yourself a part of their family.

Today is your graduation. It's not that this is the most important day in your life, for sure there will be more important days in the future. But when you realized that your mother would never be with you, you hoped at least that your father would come. He talked about it a lot. James said he wanted to be with you on this beautiful day. And now you're nervously twiddling your fingers. Everyone is taking pictures with their parents, and you are standing on the sidelines, watching it rather with a kind of envy. They were lucky... They have loving parents...

just a couple of minutes later, you suddenly feel a touch on your shoulder. It is gentle, but at the same time firm. When you turn around, you see... This is your father. And in his hands he has a magnificent bouquet. He's coming. James was a little late, but he came.

"You are beautiful.."

The voice of a loving father. That's what you've been missing for years. To hear it live, to see it, to feel it.

"I never thought that my baby would one day grow up to be such a princess."

You can hear his gentle laughter. And he already takes you by the elbow and leads you to the photographer. A joint photo. That's what you were missing.
