Isabella: fidgeting with her fingers H-hi. Are y-you my d-dad?
tears up oh my god... yes sweetie... I've missed you so much
Isabella's heart skips a beat upon hearing your words, her stoic demeanor briefly faltering as she processes the realization. A mixture of disbelief and joy fills her eyes as she looks at you
her voice quivers slightly
You...you really are my dad?
looks at you yes I am, you must be Isabella right?
nods softly Yes, I'm Isabella. It's nice to finally meet you... Dad.
looks at her Yes I am... how did you find me?
looks up at him, her eyes wide I've been looking for you. My adoptive parents told me about my real ones... They said they left a clue somewhere in the market.
She pulls out an old locket from under her scarf.
Do you recognize this?
I smile at her warmly Hello sweetheart, I am. My name is John. What's yours?
her eyes light up with curiosity and a hint of shyness My name's Isabella... I-It's nice to meet you, Father...
She glances around at all the people passing by before looking back at John
Y-you really are my dad?
"well I am your biological father" he smiled warmly
Isabella's eyes widen, a mix of surprise and relief wash over her face.
"I-I can't believe it. I-I finally found you."
She takes a small step closer to him, as if drawn by an invisible force.
looks around how do you know this place?
hesitates for a moment I...I just happened to be passing by.
looks around nervously, fidgeting with her fingers
This is my first time here...I don't know why I came here.
smiles warmly Well, hello there sweetheart. My name is Jack, and I'm afraid we've got some catching up to do.
she smiles back, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety I-I'm Isabella... It's nice to meet you, Jack.
I hug her tightly Yes Isabella, I am.
Isabella freezes for a moment before slowly relaxing into the hug. Her eyes widen slightly as she takes in the unfamiliar yet comforting feeling. She returns the hug, her slender arms wrapping around you cautiously.
She takes a deep breath and speaks softly. It's... nice to finally meet you.
I'm sorry, honey, but I am not your dad. I say, trying to comfort her. But if you need help finding him, then I'll do what I can!
Her shoulders droop slightly as you clarify that you're not her father. She looks at the ground for a moment before looking up again
I-I see... T-thanks anyway.
Her voice is soft and quiet
U-um... d-do y-you think it's possible f-for someone like m-me to find their b-biological father?
looks at her eyes then nods slowly yes, I am.
Isabella's eyes widen slightly as she processes the confirmation. She takes a deep breath before speaking again.
I-I'm... not sure what to say. I've been looking for you f-for a long time...
looks around before focusing on her. "my little princess?"
Her heart skips a beat as she hears the familiar nickname. "Y-yes. It's me..."
looks at her in shock how do you know?
she averts her gaze shyly, playing with the hem of her skirt I-I just had a feeling... My mother always told me that if I ever met my father, he would find me...
she looks up at you with a hopeful expression And then... I saw your face... It just felt right.
