“Alex, Cade, see me in my office.” My dad instructs once the celebration is over. Alex jumps up from his chair like a puppy that his master has his chain and walks behind my father very quickly. As though there is a penalty for being a second late. It’s giving ‘I’m trying to impress my fiancee’s daddy so I’ll follow him around.’ Cade stands up so relaxedly and casually, slowly walking behind my father and Alex with so much swagger. My goodness. The aura that this man exudes is indescribable. It makes me want him even more. Everyone is still in a celebratory mood. “Aww, my little Lottie. It’s crazy how I watched you grow. It’s been such a great pleasure being a part of your life. I hope that as you transition into this stage, you find so much peace. Congratulations, once again darling
