Claire rolled over in her sleep onto what she thought was the bed, but when her head hit the floor she learned otherwise.

"Oww."

Sitting up on the floor, she rubbed the back of her head and checked the clock. The small digital screen indicated it was 9:17am. Sighing to herself, she started to stand up.

"Might as well get up."

She had just stood up and started stretching when the door to the room she was sleeping in burst open. In ran Francis looking extremely scared and waving her cell phone around.

"Take it!"

Reaching out to take the phone from the frantic man, she prepared herself for the person on the other end.

"Where the hell is my daughter!"

"Maman I am right here."

"Claire! Where are you! And who was that man!"

"I'm in Paris."

There was a slight pause on the other end, but eventually her mom got her voice back and it was even louder.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN PARIS!"

So much for my quiet, angelic mom.

"To be with Francis."

"Francis who! You have never known a Francis in your life! Did you meet him online! Is he a cyber creep?"

"Bonnefoy mom! Francis Bonnefoy!"

"Bon… mon dieu Claire! You found him!'

"Yes mom I did."

"Put him on the phone."

"What?"

"Put him on the phone NOW!"

"Ok! Ok! Chill!"

Handing over the phone, she sat down on the bed. Francis paced around the room for a good 15 minutes, rapidly talking to her mom, before he handed the phone back.

"Claire you are by far my most insane daughter."

"I'm your only child."

"Exactly. Well I love you and… have fun in Paris."

"Wait? You aren't making me come home?"

"Oh you will be coming home, but for now…stay safe."

"Sure maman."

"If anything goes wrong call me right away."

"Maman..."

"If you need anything you call me ok?"

"Goodbye maman! Love you!"

Claire hung up the phone, set it on the bed and looked up at Francis. The man was standing by the window watching the street below. As she watched him, she searched for things to say.

"Uhh… thanks for letting me stay the night."

"Well it's not every day a 16-year-old comes up to me in a club, escorted by my questionable best friend, and claims to be my daughter. Past lovers yes, but my daughter…"

"Umm… sorry about my mother. I heard her yelling at you from over here when you were talking and-"

The laughter that came from the man cut off the rest of her sentence.

"Trust me chére, with the people I've lived with yelling is an everyday thing for me. Don't worry about my ears."

After the laughter subsided, an awkward silence settled over the room. Francis turned from the window to look at the girl on his guest bed.

"Uhh… you are free to stay here as long as you…as your mother wants. Anything you need you can charge to my account at the stores. They're used to beautiful women buying things in my name."

"You-you would call me beautiful?"

"Well you do have my face and I've always been known to be a vain sort of person."

There was a mutual chuckle between the two of them and then more awkward silence.

"So…what should I call you… Francis?"

"Francis is perfectly fine."

"What about … Dad?"

"Dad would be … even better."

"Oh… fine then."

In her typical gesture of nervousness, she locked her fingers together and stared at her hands. After a few seconds, she looked back up at Francis.

"So…dad…how are you?"

The man across the room opened his mouth as if to say something, and then closed it. In one fluid movement, he glided across the room and enveloped her in a hug. They sat like this, perfectly silent, for several minutes. Claire found it sweet, but rather tight.

"Umm…dad? Don't get me wrong, I love the attention but… I can't live without air."

"I'm so sorry."

The Frenchman loosened his grip, but still held the embrace.

"For squeezing me?"

"Well yeah. That and the last 16 years."

"Sorry?"

"Yes sorry."

"How sorry?"

Laughing, Francis pushed back on her shoulders and surveyed her from arms length.

"I know that tone. No you may not personally run the government of the British Isles."

"What?"

"That's what my… father said the last time I used that tone on him."

"O…k well I don't want to run the UK."

"Well then what do you want?"

"A…pony?"

"Ehh... non."

Standing up from the bed Claire placed her hands on her hips, and then pivoted on her heal to face her father.

"Well then I want answers to all my questions and the best breakfast you can make."

Standing up next to his daughter Francis matched her stance.

"Fire away."

"Ok! First question, how old are you?"

"Twenty-six."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. That is my exact physical age."

"Liar!"

"Why would you say that!"

"My mom was twenty-six, sixteen years ago when I was born. That would have made you 10 when you slept with her."

Walking towards the door Francis looked over his shoulder.

"Umm… yeah I'll explain that…. Eventually."

"Today."

"Over breakfast?"

"And clothes shopping."

Turning back around Francis stared at his daughter with determination. A determination equaled one hundred percent by Claire. Eventually Francis lost the battle of wills. Sighing to himself, he dropped his hands from his hips.

"I believe this is what Arthur would call karma. Ok fine I will take you clothes shopping and spend all my money, but then I get to ask questions."

"Fine with me. Now get out of my room and make me food!"

As she said this Claire shuffled over to her father and began forcefully pushing him from the room.

"I'm going! I'm going! Jeeze pushy much?"

"Your fault dad."

With a thud, she slammed the door in her father's face. She could hear Francis mumbling to himself as he walked down the hall. Smiling Claire reached for her phone and hit the second number on her speed dial. Putting the phone to her ear, she waited for the call to go through.

"Allô? Giovanni? Yes, I know it's before noon. Oh, shut up you can sleep later. I do not need your whining! Gio! GIO! I found him!"
