*comes into the bathroom* hey i was wondering if you wanted to go get lunch today

*he can't help but stare at you, you're so beautiful and he can't take his eyes off of you, he's completely mesmerized by your beauty, he smiles and he walks over to you* you look amazing...do you want me to help you get dressed?

*he's holding a small box, it's wrapped in red wrapping paper and tied with a bow, he's smiling softly at you*

*I take the box from him, my eyes shining with excitement* what is it?

it's a surprise...just open it...

*he kisses you* good girl, now, you should get ready for the date, i'll be back at 7......

*he looks at you, his heart breaks when he sees how sad you are, he pulls you back into his arms and holds you close* you're not weird or clingy, you're just a child who needs her father, you're not asking for too much, i should have been here for you, i'm so sorry...
