It was one fine spring day with the birds chirping and the bees buzzing, so Hughes decided to take his family out to a picnic in the park. "Elicia! Wait for Daddy" Hughes cried as he chased after his 3 year old daughter. Elicia finally stops running to attack her father with a big embrace. "I love you Elicia" whispered Hughes. Elicia looked up to her father, but a blurry silhouette was replaced with her father's face. How did he look like again? How tall was he? What was he like? These thoughts raced Elicia's head until she was awakened by her mother's singing coming from the downstairs' kitchen. She sighed. "Has he really been gone for 10 years now?" she thought. "I can't even remember what he looks like anymore." Elicia stayed in bed trying to put together the bits and pieces of the vague memories she shared with her father until Gracia called her down for breakfast. She slowly got up from bed and walked downstairs.

"Morning Mom" Elicia yawned, only half awake at the time. "Good morning, sweetie! How did you sleep?"

"Fine, how about you?." Elicia said as she took a piece of bread from the table.

"Peacefully and soundly." Gracia said. "Would you like some butter with that?" She pointed to her bread.

"No thank you, I'm okay Mom."

The room went silent. All you can hear is Elicia munching her bread away. Right when Elicia was on her last bite, Gracia asks: "Elicia, what do you think of me dating again?"

"Huh?"

"Remember when I went to Aunt Riza and Uncle Roy's house the other night? Well, I met one of their colleagues that they are both very fond of, his name is Adrian Yunqi. He's a really sweet guy. His heart is made of gold and he's been through so much. He….He reminds me so much of your father." Gracia blushed, reminiscing all the memories she had with late husband.

"Oh…" Elicia said, but her mind started to wonder, thinking about what if life would have been like if Dad was still around. Once again, the room filled with silence.

"I was thinking…." Gracia finally broke the silence, "how nice it would be if you got to know Adrian. I want to introduce you. How about dinner tonight at a nice restaurant?"

"Uhh…sounds great." Elicia said unsure and worried.

"Alright, be down here in formal clothes by seven o'clock sharp" Gracia smiled.

"It's a plan then." Elicia forcibly smiled back.

By five to 7, Elicia was already in her best dress. She looked at her the clock.

"Hurry up Mom! It's almost 7 already!"

"Alright, alright! I'm almost ready!" Gracia moaned.

About a minute later, Gracia walked down the steps in her best clothes. She looked stunning. Elicia was at loss of words.

"Mom….I haven't seen you look this great in so long! You're glowing like an angel!"

Gracia smiled sheepishly. "Oh, it's really nothing haha…I just put on this old dress I found in the closet. Haha…"

"Well, you look great!" Elicia exclaimed.

Right then,they saw a car pull up in the driveway from the window.

"Remember Elicia, best behavior.", Gracia said. He knocked on the door, and with Gracia's command of "Come inside.", a tall, handsome, black-haired man appeared at the door dressed in a suit with a bouquet of flowers in hand.
