Insomnia, depression and what's worse, he had absolutely no appetite. Things couldn't get any worse for him.

Yet when life had already made him hit rock-bottom, there was nothing left to lose anymore. Thrown into such situation, a young man who wasn't in the best mental condition, suddenly got nicknamed Midnight and found himself visiting the same girl over and over again every night in her backyard. The girl being the same one he had had a crush on years ago. 

The problem is... This girl has no idea who he is, nor did he have any intention to let her know. In such situation a question arises:

How do I make her like me back?

Midnight Smiles

/"What do you even need her for?/"

/"So I can make it clear that I’m a single father with a daughter that is so adorable that no one can resist her. The woman will be charmed by my sweetie and we will…/"

/"Jeremy. Are you trying to find a wife for yourself or Leah?/"

More shouting and yelling came from the other side of the phone. Jake rolled his eyes. Agh, whatever. If this dunce thought he could get the girl by showing off his daughter, then fine. He will let him do whatever he wants and see what happened.

Hanging up the phone, Jake closed all the tubs and cans of paint and kneeled in front of Leah with a wet wipe on his hands. He took the brush from her and wiped her little face and then her tiny hands. /"Do you wanna go see daddy? Uncle Jake will take you to him./"
