I had a plan to pique her curiosity. The last thing I said as the sound came up was, “I have a new project going, you should . . . Whoops, it's sta...rting!” Then I made a point of 'shushing' her every time she started to ask a question. Two and a half hours later, as we were walking out she pulled me out of the Queue. “What new project?”, She demanded. “Hold on, I need to hit the loo.”, I walked quickly into the loo, leaving her standing there, fuming.

She paused for a moment and I knew she was going to return to her conversation of earlier. "I really like her, dad. It would be great if you and she got together. It's not as if I want a step-mother, but she is so much more attuned to my ideas and likes than mum or Roger. Beside that you have been on your own for too long. I worry about you, dad. I want to see you happy and with someone who loves you as much as I do. Cate does love you, you. Dil ki bat kehne mein sharmata nahi.
