Roxy smiled at her father. They were sitting in the back of the same Denny's she and Sean had had lunch in yesterday, and while her father wasn't in uniform, the haircut, clothes, and whole demeanor just screamed 'COP' to everyone in the place.

"Okay," he started, "tell me about him."

"Why?" Roxy grinned. "So you can tell me how I'm wrong and how you know everything about him? Come on, Dad. I know you've had everyone in the department searching all the records for every little scrap of information on him. So let's just cut to the chase, and you can tell me how bad he is for me, and why."

"Honey, I'm hurt that you'd even say that!" her father protested, looking the very picture of wounded innocence.

"Save it for the judge, Dad!" Roxy laughed. "I stopped falling for that when I was thirteen!"

"Honey, I'm your father, it's my job to look out for you."

"Uh huh, sure, fine. But your little girl is all grown up now, Daddy. You know I can take care of myself, you taught me after all."

"Still, this could be dangerous, Honey."

"Oh? Any more dangerous than being the Sheriff's only daughter?" Roxy looked up at her father and shook her head. "You know, I used to be really mad at you for that time Paulson and his men grabbed me to try and pressure you. Now? I'm glad it happened, because it taught me how to deal with those kinds of people."

Roxy had the pleasure of watching her father stiffen for a moment. The Paulson gang hadn't realized that things like lycans existed. After she'd finished with them, they were no longer able to care.

"I'm sorry about that, Honey, really, I…"

Roxy waved her hand, cutting her father off, "Water under the bridge, Dad. I'm not letting go of this one. Someone threw him in the deep end and thank god I was there to keep him from drowning."

"There's going to be trouble, Honey, I can smell it."

"There's already been trouble, Daddy. He's mine."

"You've only known him since what, Saturday? How can he be yours already?"

Roxy shrugged and grinned, "He's a lion, he laid claim to me pretty damn quick; I don't think he even realized he'd done it. He'd only been bitten the night before."

"He's been a lion less than a day, and you're already hooking up for life with him?" The disbelief on her father's face was palpable.

"Well, first off, I've known Sean for years, but he wasn't one of us, so I never really pursued anything with him. So it's not like I didn't know him, and Dad, really, he's a lion! Trust me on this one, Dad. The guy that bit him helped raise him, Sean's got his head screwed on right, and while you may be my father and all that, if you laid a finger on me in front of him, he'd probably rip your arm off and beat you to death with it.

"He's got a pretty serious thing for me."

Her father sighed, conceding defeat.
