[She sniffs, and offers a gentle huff, rubbing at her eyes.]
...this is going to sound...maybe creepy. But...I trusted you from the moment we met. I'm still...figuring out what it means to be someone's daughter.
I love you like family John. It feels like...I can trust you to have my back. And you'll have mine. It's...okay for me to be honest with you, with all my feelings. And...I hope you feel the same way.
That...we can help each other, support each other. I...don't know if I'm using all the right words.
That's the nice thing about trust, [ he says it slowly, thoughtfully ] namely that there are no... 'right' words. There's better words and words that might take a little longer. But they're all good words. And you don't have to be 'right'.
[ He kisses her temple. ]
It's not creepy, though. I...
I've felt the urge to look after you for a long time. A-and we'll figure out together, what being my daughter is, what me being your father is.
[ Wry. ]

He was good at negotiating. It's how he got his first date with her. Her mother.
Re: post-breach
He did? I thought she was more stubborn then him. From what little I remember.

[Another watery giggle, and a sniffle, as she tries to rub the tears from her eyes.]
That sounds like you too.
Re: post-breach
I can be patient for important things. [ Beat. ] I don't like it.
Re: post-breach
[She paused. Another sniff.]
Sometimes people.
But...how should we be...father and daughter, from now on?
Re: post-breach
[ He gives her a little squeeze. ]
Like I said: it feels like we've finally seen what was already there. So. Now we're looking at it. What do you see?

Yeah. Most people only do it once. Bit of a late start but...we'll figure it out. Or at least- just- well. We can...keep looking out for each other.
Re: post-breach
[ He's got confidence about that. ]
