Kapitel 74: A good elder

"Hoy, I am a man just like you, and I know I am not blind neither am I dense. You... have been looking at my daughter differently lately, haven't you?" Jaime asked. "I saw that correctly, didn't I?" 

Hoy couldn't deny it. He didn't know when it began, but he just found himself slowly being drawn to their daughter while his feelings began to slowly drift from one to another. Joreen was very pretty but it was beyond just her looks. She had developed into a very beautiful and innocent woman. Unfortunately, he didn't want anyone else to take away her innocence from her which was why he was literally policing her life. 

He liked to tease her because all her reactions were funny to him. He also liked it whenever she was around him. The way she laughed, nagged at him, and sometimes, called him names like mean, wicked, bully, it all made him smile.
