“Father, may I speak to you in private?” I ask sweetly.
I plan on maintaining a calm demeanor until he gives me a reason not to. He smiles at me, completely unaware of his mistake.
“Sure, give me a moment to instruct the pack and we can speak in my office,” he replies.
As we head to his office, I debate how to approach him. Our relationship is very new and I am not familiar with his personality yet. I have to think of the best way to make him understand that I am independent and I do not need a man telling me what to do. I am meant for a greater purpose and I won’t allow anyone to stand in my way.
“Sorry if I was a little gruff before, but I just want what’s best for you,” my father begins, “I am your father and it’s my job to keep you safe.”
I sit down across from him and act casual, like we are just having a friendly chat.
