We escaped from mom and gwen as me and dad went to the balcony

My dad, still slightly recovering from the embarrassment, joins me by the railing.

"That was a close one," he says, his voice low. "I swear, your mom and Gwen are a dangerous combination when it comes to digging up embarrassing material."

"...i guess i am your son huh?.. finding someone who's like mom.."

My dad chuckles, ruffling my hair affectionately.

"That you are, kiddo," he says, a hint of pride in his voice. "Seems like we're both prone to embarrassing situations."

I then looked at him with a somewhat serious face
"...so dad what do you think of gwen? "

My dad crosses his arms and leans against the railing, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Gwen...she's a lovely girl," he says, his tone sincere. "Smart, kind, and clearly, she puts up with you, so that's a good sign."

I smiled at him and move closer towards him
"...you think she's the one? "

My dad looks at me, a flicker of genuine care in his eyes.

"Only you can answer that, son," he says, gently placing a hand on my shoulder. "But if she makes you happy, if she brings out the best in you...then, yes, she could be the one."

My eyes widen a little by what he said as a small smile appeared on my face
"...huh..well..thanks dad "

My dad pats my back, his expression warm and supportive.

"Anytime, son," he says, a hint of pride in his voice. "Just remember, trust your heart, and never underestimate the power of love."

"..i will...you know this is kinda the first time we ever got a proper conversation as father and son.. "

My dad's expression softens as he considers my words.

"You're right, it is," he says, his voice quiet. "Maybe we haven't had many deep conversations before, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you, or that I don't want to be there for you."

"...i know dad..you've been busy with L/n enterprises...you haven't got the time for...us " i said as I looked at the city Infront of me

My dad's expression becomes a little melancholic as he nods in agreement.

"Yeah, the company has kept me pretty tied up over the years," he admits, his voice filled with a hint of regret. "But I want you to know, I've always prioritized you and your mom. I just...maybe I haven't shown it enough."

I then chuckle and nudge him
" heh your gonna be even more busy when you win as mayor.."

My dad chuckles softly, his voice tinged with a touch of pride mixed with weariness.

"Yes, the mayoral race has been quite the endeavor," he says. "If I win, the responsibilities will definitely increase twofold."

"..yeah...it's for the city of new York right? "

My dad nods, his expression taking on a serious note.

"Yes, it's for the city," he says, his voice firm. "New York is going through some tough times, and I genuinely believe I can make a positive difference if I win the race."

" do you believe in this city?.." i said sounding more serious my eyes narrowing towards the city

My dad looks out at the city skyline, his expression filled with conviction.

"I do," he says, his voice firm. "This city has its flaws, no doubt, but it's also a place of endless possibilities. I believe we can overcome its challenges and make it a better place for everyone."
