“We have kept our family isolated from most of the world in order to keep her safe all these years. So, there are a lot of things she’s naïve about that most girls her age aren’t. She’s never dated, let alone had a boyfriend before.” I am aware of all of this, but I believe it is important to let him have his say without interruption. “She’s in love with you, too, though I don’t know if she knows that yet.” He’s quiet for a moment as he points to an area where wolfs bane grows. I squat down to dig under the snow for salvageable leaves. “I am afraid that her innocence may play a part in her feelings for you, and I do not want you, or her, to be hurt by that.” Um, I was expecting this to be a ‘back off from my innocent daughter’ speech. Not a ‘my daughter’s going to break your heart’ speech. Standing up, I turn to him. “I fear the same thing, as well. I am hoping that she continues to love me as her experience with the world grows, but I am not naïve. I understand that first loves are not always lasting loves.” I do not really understand that, but it seems like the right thing to say at the moment. “I can assure you that her feelings for me are truly what is in her heart. Magic does not lie. It can be manipulated at times to make things appear different than they are, but it can never change the truth.”
