"He is really handsome! You will like him too." His eyes found her emotionless facade with a grin creeping on his mouth.
Reyne could not deny that there was pure joy on his cheeks. The unknown glint of hope in his shimmering eyes made her believe that he was happy just by the thought of having his daughter mated to a decent guy.
By the looks, Reyne knew, her father did not mean anything about the physical appearance. All that his words wanted to convey about the Gamma's offspring was that she would be happy with him.
Reyne lowered her eyes as she controlled her increasing sorrow. Last night she got happy when he allowed her to stay home rather than joining him at the gathering. But now this! It was like life was playing a dirty revenge game with her. It neither wanted her to experience happiness nor be sad for more than a while. Happiness and sadness came one by one, and in line, for her.
Huh, no matter how much it irked her, she was left with no alternative but to accept his words. Her father seemed happy. And it was after a long time. So there was no way that she would turn him down as his daughter.
In fact, Hari Stark, her strictly stern father never wished anything from her except for this. It was for her own good, regardless. Hence, she rooted there on her seat with a bowed head whilst her fingers played with the torn piece of bread.
"Reyne," she monotonously looked up. It was more for being obedient to her father's call than being interested in what he wanted to say next. "I know you are at an awkward stage right now, but as a father, I will really be happy if you go to see him. Brandon is indeed an awesome guy you would love to hang out with."
What an irony! Reyne shook her head up and down since words were nowhere close to her breathing pipe. They were not ready to be said out. She used her face to answer in a voluntarily involuntary yes.
