I analyzed every detail in Alex Stewart’s story. I didn’t know Lizzie was playful and witty.Her sense of humour came as a shock to me as well. She was always quiet when we’re together. I never even noticed the way she dresses or the way she smells…or the way she moves.Alex observed every detail of her.

He described my daughter with such love and fondness. He saw things in her I never did and never will. I hate myself for being unaware of what Lizzie is blossoming into.

The truth slapped me hard and I deserved it. Alex is here now to tell me all that I’ve missed. He’s a fine gentleman. I realized how lucky they both were for having each other- and how lucky I am to have them both.

“Mr. Meyer?”. I didn’t notice I was silent for a long time.

“So Alex,” I began. “When did you two become…together?”. I just had to know how long did my daughter hide this from me.

The boy raised his eyebrows as if in shock, his eyes showed a glint of sadness.

“When did you become Lizzie’s boyfriend?” I rephrased my previous question.

He shot me a confused look. “I was never Lizzie’s boyfriend”.
