"Hey."
Harry glanced at his daughter, "hello." He closed the hood of the car, grabbing a dirty rag. "What do you want?"
Abigail leaned on the cool car, "nothing."
He wiped his hands, "okay, goodbye."
"Baba." She groaned, jumping on top of the hood. "Could I ask you something?"
Harry blinked at her, then at the car, "you can do so -off of the car."
"What do I do if the person I like does not like me?"
"Get over it."
Abigail stared at him, eyes low, "really?"
"What are you going to do? Force them to like you?"
"But I am likable!"
"Not to everyone." He leaned on the car, folding his arms. "Everyone decides who they like and if they do not like you then there is nothing you can do about it."
"What if they do like me but they are confused?"
"Then you will move on and they will miss their opportunity."
"I do not want to move on."
Harry breathed, "Abigail, life is unfair." He raised a hand before she rolled her eyes. "I say this often and I mean it. In life there are many things that do not make sense. Why someone is born sick, why some are born poor -why someone is abused." He sighed, "It is not fair but we can do two things, accept it or move forward. We can complain and beg or we can work hard and do better." The alpha shook his head, "complaining gets you nowhere -especially when it is about a lover."
Abigail nodded seriously, "baba... I really want to be with Eva." She looked at her father, waiting for a reprimand. "I like -I like Benjamin but I cannot keep pretending I do not love her -I really, really love her, baba." Abigail rubbed her face, "I do not want an omega -I want her."
Harry reached out, cupping his daughter's cheek, "then tell her."
"She likes someone and who am I to break that up?"
"You are right, but I think she would like to know."
Abigail frowned, "she will think it is weird -because we are both alphas."
Harry nodded once, "possibly. You do not think it is weird?"
"No." Abigail shook her head, "I think it is beautiful -to love someone so much that you go against the wave. Omega with Alpha, that is right." She snorted, "I do not care, I know what I want -who I want." She huffed, "Benjamin is beautiful. He is smart, sweet -gentle and so is Eva. But she is also angry, aggressive -strong. She is perfect for me. We are opposites, we should be together. I want her."
Harry pressed his lips together, "then you must tell her or she will never know."
"Thanks for the talk, baba." She smiled, "I will not tell her -not now anyway. Maybe when I get over this -whatever this is." Abi kissed her father's cheek, "I love you -thank you."
