"Daddy, this is all like a dream. On the way out he hands me this map with directions to a lakefront property says you need to meet up with a Claire Hill."

Hank looks at the map nodding like he recognizes where it is "Julia, keep your head. This Pete fella is a shrewd fella and he has a knack for spotting young talent. Remember he is the one bending over backwards to get you to work for him, don't get caught up with all these promotional promises."

"Are you saying I should turn them down?"

"No, not at all, take them, but don't get sentimental about them. Work hard, get the mentorships and learn all you can, but always look for better opportunities elsewhere and don't get suckered in by his 6 figure promise, he knows you can generate a hell of alot more commission than that."

"Daddy, why are you being so good to me, I don't deserve all this!"

Hank reaches his gigantic calloused hand over and gently strokes his daughter's face and chin, "You deserve this and a hell of alot more because you've earned it." His voice then begins to crack, "All this isn't for you it is for me. I want to be a part of your success story. You are already making it, I just wanted to call this Pete guy to be a part of your life again. I know it's not normal to grab an 8 year old boy by the scruff of the neck for dancing with his baby girl too close. I must have been a nightmare for you growing up. I know you are going to keep seeing that boy and I don't approve. I know he is sick and I know you care about him. Your mother told me alot about you two and we agree I can't be in your life from that end. Just, please, let me share this day with you."

Julia gives her father a sloppy wet kiss on his cheek with extra love and force, "You are a wonderful Dad, and I love that you are overprotective and love me so much...Well most of the time." The two look at eachother and share a laugh.

"I know this is way, way overdue, but I got you a present." Hank gestures for Julia to open the glovebox and there is the latest version of an Iphone with a pink bow on it. "You have been 18 for a few months now and you need your privacy and don't need your mom or I screening your calls. Just please for the love of God don't share any pictures of yourself in a bikini or anything else." Julia laughs again as they head to scope out her new apartment.
