Go on a date with me

"Are you always this stubborn with everyone or is it just me?" Garrick asked as they climbed the threshold of the building.

"I have only known you for like a month or something close to that, so what do you think?" she asked back with a smirk.

"Returning questions with questions? Yeah, you are really my child." Garrick teased as he pushed the big door open. "Go and clean up," he instructed.

"I already told you, Pops. You are not the boss of me," she replied and scoffed for the umpteenth time today.

"Pops? Is that a substitute for father?" he asked fondly.

"Nice try, Garrick…" Clarisse said and smiled.

Just then, they walked into Claire in the living room of the castle; well, the major living room, because there were over four living rooms in this mansion. Claire seemed sad to see the two of them together, or maybe jealous. She just stood there with the look in her eyes that told it all.
