Ken, I'm worried about Lia

Ken
Aren't you supposed to be working?

Ken
And what do we have to worry about?

Grace
First, I'm on a break and second, do you realize that our daughter is in another 'whirlwind romance' as you called it last time

Ken
Yes, with that Shawn Mendes boy. Pretty good singer I have to say

Grace
Are you saying you're okay with this?

Grace
This is exactly what happened with Mason. She fell too hard and too fast and didn't realize she was falling straight into a trap.

Ken
Except I have to agree with our daughter and say that Shawn isn't Mason.

Ken
And don't start with the 'how would you know' crap because I've done my research

Ken
The kid is perfect for our daughter. He's as passionate about music as she is (even uses it as a therapy himself just like her), he's funny, he's a fanboy just like she is a fangirl, and he treats her like a freaking princess, Grace!

Ken 

He even got a crowd of thousands to sing Boulevard of Broken Dreams for her birthday after barely dating for a few weeks. You know how much she loves Green Day.

Grace
I remember Mason giving her extravagant gifts as well just to keep up the facade.

Ken
But these aren't extravagant for every girl like Mason's were. They're specially designed for Lia.

Ken
And I can't recall a single moment where I even thought that Mason would help Lia in a time of need. Shawn brought her to an award show (at her request I might add) and got her through an attack that happened that night

Ken
Trust me, I hate the idea of Lia going through that torture again but Shawn's a good kid

Ken
Just give the kid a chance, Grace. He'll surprise you.

Grace
I guess I could try, if only for Coppélia's sake. But I make no promises

Ken
That's all I'm asking. Now get back to work. I love you

Grace
I love you too

Ken
BTW, Amanda has told me that Lia just agreed to be in one of Shawn's music videos

Grace
WHAT???
