Late Night Date

When Zaria and Theodore arrived home, he sat on the couch silently to contemplate the weirdness of what had happened earlier. How was it possible?

"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Zaria asked as she made herself comfortable after pouring herself a glass of cold water from the dispenser.

"Why would Jupiter agree to an interview?" He asked directly. "Not only did he agree, he was also the first one to seek us. It just doesn't make sense no matter how hard I think about it. Also, what does it have to do with you? Don't tell me…"

Zaria could fill in his unsaid words that were too terrifying to think about. That was Natalie's boyfriend, okay! To stop him from thinking too much, she briefly explained the man's reasons.

"He admires you."

"He what? I would never have expected that." It was the last thing that would have ever crossed his mind.
