The spacious couch was close to the window, so both of them looked up at the starry sky from where they lay.

Since they got to the topic of father, Zephyr asked, “Cordelia, have you thought about what your birth father’s like?”

Cordelia blinked and was quiet for a bit. Her head was against his chest, and she shook it.

“Can’t imagine it…”

He stroked her hair. “Mom’s never told you?”

“Mom never speaks about it,” she replied softly. “I’ve never asked if my questions remind her of unhappy stuff in the past.”

The truth was, she had imagined it before. Which girl had never wished to become their father’s little princess?

Cordelia chuckled and said, “I thought that William Jenner’s my father when I was younger. When Yelena bullied me sometimes, I really wished he’d stand up for me and bring justice… once, just once would be enough.

“But it never happened, not even once.”

Zephyr’s heart clenched for her, and he hugged her tighter.

“So, I don’t fantasize about my birth father being someone capable,” Cordelia said gently. “I think… he might be a regular guy, not tall, a little plump, and have a kind smile. That’s enough! But he’ll do everything within his power to protect his children. That he’s the best dad in the world!”

Zephyr smiled and pressed a kiss on her forehead. He would love to know what his future father-in-law was like too.

“Maybe he isn’t someone regular?” he asked softly. “Maybe he’s like me, with superpowers?”

“What do you mean he’s like you? Why are we coming back to you again!?” Cordelia pinched him with a giggle. “You’re doing this on purpose!”

Zephyr let her pinch him and did not counter, wearing a pampering smile all along.

Both of them wrestled on the couch. As he turned, he sank deeper into the couch, and Cordelia pressed against him closer. It was a narrow space, after all.
