Maybe I was just a naive teenager.

Or maybe it was just hormones.

Shouldn't a girl outgrow her infatuation with her dad?

I don't know.

I even found it hard to admit to myself how I felt about him.

I know he wasn't happy.

His marriage with mom wasn't working and I guess he felt lonely.

At least emotionally.

When I saw Mom neglect him, I tried my best to make him feel appreciated by me

instead.

I often held his hand when we walked somewhere, or sat in his lap as I did

I was a little girl.

Just small signs of affection.

But I could tell he really appreciated it.

He even stated giving me affectionate comments, too.

He told me how pretty I looked or how cute a dress looked on me.

Little things like that.

He didn't know how much that meant to me, but I could live all day on a

from him at the breakfast table.

Most of my friends just wanted to avoid their dads, but for me, it was the other

way around.

I wanted to be with him as often as I could.

Even if I had a boyfriend, I tried to put my dad first.

I knew it made him happy when we spent time together, but my mom didn't like

that.

I spent so much time with him.

Maybe she was jealous that he seemed to enjoy my company more than hers.

But it was her own fault, really.

I knew that it wasn't healthy, but I couldn't help wishing that Dad would

divorce Mom so he and I could live together.

Just the two of us.

I mean, you know it was that night.

No.

But, I mean, I already got the tickets and everything, and I already got the

dress, and... But you can just rent one tomorrow. It doesn't even...

That's not even a good excuse.

Look, you know what? It's in four days.

Can't you just pull it together and... Fine.

Fine.

Yeah, if that's how you want it to be, then I'll just find someone else.

No, I'm not... I'm still going to go.

Just not... If you don't go, I just won't go with you. I'll go with my

It won't even be a big deal.

Fine.

Okay. Yeah.

I'll...

I'll talk to you later.

Mm -hmm.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

Is something wrong?

He... He doesn't want to go...

He doesn't want to do the whole Valentine's Day thing.

Oh, sweetie.

I mean, I...

You know, I had those reservations, and we planned it out and everything.

But now he's like, oh, I've got to work, blah, blah, blah.

And... Come here, sweetheart.

Stupid.

Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

You must be crazy to cancel on such a beautiful girl.

Obviously.

I would never cancel on you.

Oh, thanks.

It just sucks that he won't go with me.

I know.

What if you were my Valentine's Day date?

I mean, we could just go out and do something fun.

And it'll be a fun Valentine's Day.

Oh, no, no. You should go with someone your own age.

It's not appropriate.

But... But you... Well, sweetheart, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever

met.

I would be proud to go out with you.

Of course.

Anything for you.

Daddy.

I love you so much.

I would love to go out with you on Friday night.

Right now, I guess it's time for you to do your homework.

And clean your room, Haley. You promised to do that yesterday. You still haven't

done it.

Okay, I will.

Honey, she's devastated about that boy. Give her a break.

You've been spoiling her and I don't think you should encourage her little

on you Listen, she's our daughter and I want to give her everything she wants

It's it's inappropriate John

You've been spending more time with her than you have with me

not blind

Not like that, Madeline.

Yeah, I just... I don't explain it.

I just like to show him how much I appreciate hanging out with him.

Yeah.

I mean, we're going... Yeah, we're going there soon, and...

It'll just be nice. I mean... How do I explain this?

He, if he was my age, he would totally be the best

boyfriend ever.

No, no, no, it's not like that at all. I was just saying it.

But I really, I really should find something cute to wear.

What do you think?

What should I wear when we go out tomorrow?

Like a cute dress.

Something frilly.

No, it's just, I just want to show him that I appreciate his company.

That's all.

Yeah, be nice. It'll be nice to find something really cute to wear.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

It's just, it's been fun spending more time with him.

Mm -hmm.

All right.

You too.

Okay. Okay. I won't. I swear.

All right.

Bye.

Flowers and jewelry.

John, I think you're taking this little date with her a little too seriously.

Look, if she's happy, I'm happy.

Okay, but don't stay out too late. She has cheerleading practice tomorrow,

Okay.

I'm ready.

Flowers?

For you.

And a necklace? Yes. For your Valentine?

Anything for you, sweetie. My God, you look beautiful tonight.

Here's some flowers.

Oh, you look so handsome, too.

That cleans up well, doesn't it?

You look really beautiful.

This is going to be the best night ever.

I agree.

Now we should get going because we don't want those couples taking our table.

No, I'll grab my coat and then we'll go. Okay, great.

So much fun tonight.

I had a great time. I'm so proud to be out with such a beautiful young girl.

So, do you think when they saw us dancing, do

you think that they thought you were my boyfriend?

I would be proud if you were my girlfriend.

I'd be proud, too.

We were just talking, honey.

John, don't do this to me. Just don't, okay?

All right, your little date is over.

It's late.

You need to get to bed, and you said you would fix the washing machine. You

didn't do that today.

Well, actually, Haley and I were just going to grab a drink and unwind in the

living room.

You up for that?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's just go in there.

It's still early.

That's enough. Too much caffeine and you won't be able to go to sleep tonight.

All right. So we are before you sit. I want to make a toast.

To tonight. Tonight I had a wonderful time on my date with you, my daughter.

Me too. I had a great time.

And you were so special. It was a fun Valentine's Day.

Cheers. Cheers.

You know what?

Since we had so much fun dancing earlier, we should have another dance.

I agree.

Let's dance.

You're so beautiful.

You look so handsome tonight.

Thank you.

Hey, John, maybe you should come over and sit here with me.

Not right now, sweetheart.

We're not done.

Thanks so much for letting me go out with Dad on Valentine's Day.

Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, honey.

You know, you should be careful when you're going out with your dad.

People might get the wrong idea. They might think you're a real couple.

Why don't we have another toast?

Oh, yeah.

To Valentine's Day.

To Valentine's Day and my wonderful family.

Mary, you look tired.

Yeah, I'm a little tired.

I was cleaning the house all day long.

All right. Well, why don't you put your feet down and stretch out and fall

asleep? Maybe just a little nap.

Yeah, sure. Just a little nap.

Just for a moment.

I'm with you, Daddy.

No. Like a real woman.

You're my daughter.

You're my little girl. You can't do that.

Just... Just pretend I'm your girlfriend.

No, sweetheart.

I don't know, sweetheart.

So you want to wash it?

Pull my pants up just in case.

You're so big.

It's my new pencil.

Thank you.

What are you guys doing? What are you up to?

Oh, that's not appropriate.

It's okay, Mary. Go to sleep.

You shouldn't be sitting on his lap.

That's not appropriate.

Don't sit on his lap.

Yeah, she's just having a bad dream, that's all.

Shouldn't get between her legs like that. You know that doesn't look right.

Is she okay?

Yeah, you're just having a bad dream, I think.

Bailey, sweetheart, you're having a bad dream.

Time to wake up.

Past her bedtime.

I understand.

I think I'll take her into her room and put her to bed.

Yeah,

we should all go to bed.

Everybody to bed now.

Aww.

Oh, I'm getting close.

I shouldn't come inside you.

Oh, come on. I really want you to.

But I could...

Go into the other room.

And you look cute now.
