Fractious was a word that came to mind whenever Guy thought about his relationship with his daughter, fractious, or in his daughters words they're relationship was broken beyond repair, he wanted more then just a professional relationship but he knew that, that wasn't what his daughter wanted. Guy rubbed his temple as these thoughts engrossed him once more, he wondered where things had gone so wrong in the months his relationship with his daughter had changed, if he were honest, he didn't blame his daughter. He could see the pain behind those eyes of hers, he knew that behind the facade that his daughter was a hurting girl that just needed her father.
Guy was brought out of his thoughts when there was a knock on the door, "come in" Guy said as the door opened and it revealed Elliot. "Elliot what can I do for you?" Guy asked placing the paper work down as Elliot closed the door behind him "this is not a professional request more of a personal one" Elliot said and Guy raised an eyebrow "Elliot" Guy began. "no, let me have my piece" Elliot said and Guy nodded. "It's about Doctor March" Elliot said "Elliot no disrespect but I don't think what happens between me and my daughter I don't think it has anything to do with you" Guy said.
"That's where your wrong Mr Self" Elliot stated simply, Guy raised an eyebrow "Elliot what was the point of your visit?" Guy asked "I'm here to tell you that I'm worried about Zosia" Elliot said and Guy was confused "and whys that so?" He asked.
"I personally think that you should accept your daughters wishes of simply not being interested in surgery, Zosia is a grown woman and has a mind of her own" Elliot said simple and Guy tilted his head sideways "let me interrupt you a second professor, didn't you once us yourself that my daughter would make an excellent surgeon if she tried hard enough?" Guy said and Elliot nodded "I did say that, but I also think you should take your daughters wishes into respect, you can't force your daughter into a life of surgery if that's not what she wants" Elliot said.
Guy sighed "Elliot how do you do it?" He asked, Elliot looked at him confused "do what Mr Self?" Elliot asked "know my daughter better then I do" Guy said simply, and Elliot gave a shake of the head "I don't know what you mean" he said and Guy sighed " I see the way you too are together, she sees you as a father figure Elliot, don't say toy haven't noticed" Guy said and Elliot looked bewailed at this comment.
"I think your mistaken" Elliot said and Guy shook his head "no I'm not, I wish, I wish I could have that sort of relationship with my daughter Elliot" Guy confessed "nothing is ever as broken as it may seem it may take time, but I wouldn't give up on Zosia all together" Elliot said and Guy sighed "she's made it perfectly clear that all she wants is a professional relationship I suppose I should give her that much Elliot " Guy said and Elliot shook his head "I'm sure that deep down that isn't what Zosia really wants" Elliot said. "Well she's got a funny way of showing it" Guy said.
"I don't know all the details of your personal relationship, but I do know something don't give up trying" Elliot said and Guy nodded "I won't Elliot, thanks" Guy said and Elliot nodded before he left the office, leaving Guy with his thoughts.
Guy was sat doing paperwork when there was another knock at the door "come in" he said and to his surprise in walked zosia. "Zosia what can I do for you?" Guy asked "I want us to go visit mama's grave together that is if your not too busy being the new CEO and all that" Zosia said, she had given this a lot of thought. and plus well, a visit to her mama's grave was long over due anyway. Guy was a bit taken back at his daughters offer but nodded "of course we can, just let me finish this paperwork and I'll meet you by the coffee shop near the entrance?" Guy said and Zosia nodded "that's fine, but dad this doesn't change anything. Strictly professional" Zosia said and Guy nodded "of course" Guy said as he watched his daughter walk out of his office, surprise washing over him, she'd called him dad, for the last few months she had refused to call him that instead referring to him as Guy, maybe this was a positive step forward and maybe they could mend they're relationship after all.
