... harder."

"Wow, you're going to try for a takeover?"

He nodded brusquely. "Yes, we're already putting a plan together. Every improvement you make, costs me money. I want you to walk away. I don't want you caught in the cross hairs."

"But, I'm really making a difference there."

He patted my hand across the small table. "Damn it, I know that honey. I am well aware of the work you are doing. I am very much aware. God damn it, you're costing me a fortune."

"You can't stop this Vicki, it's happening. Your hard work is just costing me money. Please, come and work for me. We could use your help."

"I can't do that Dad. Although, god knows what I'm going to do now? If I stay, then I'm going to be accused of deliberately running the company down. If I come to work for you. I'm going to be accused of working for you, slipping you insider information. I get screwed either way."

"Vicki, this isn't going to happen overnight. We are still months away from making this a reality. Jump now and you will avoid most of the fallout. If you stay, then it will be hard."

That threw my world into a spin. I was so proud of the work I had been doing. We were really making inroads in turning the company around. "I don't know Dad, it doesn't feel right to run. I appreciate the heads up and the job offer. Nothing would please me more than coming to work for you. I just wanted it to be on my terms."

He chuckled. "Oh, don't worry honey. I knew all right. Your mother has never let me forget. I was too pushy and I was absent too much. I realize that now. It's why I feel so guilty about your life choices. I wonder if I had been around more, whether I could have changed your mind."

"Dad, we have talked about this...it has taken me a long time to get my head into a space where I can say, I'm proud of who I have become. I love my life. At the moment, I am so happy. Having you accept me, that is part of why I am so happy. When you introduce me to your friends as your daughter, that fills my heart with joy." He winced a little. "You mean that? You are happy?"

"Yes Dad, I'm happy."

"What about Livvy?"

"I'm trying Dad, I really am. I just can't live the way she wants to live. Both of us hiding in the closet, afraid what people will say. I'm proud. Plus, she's so fixated on making partner, she will never move."

"It's part of why I am so nervous. Please don't take what I'm going to say the wrong way. It must be hard for somebody in your position to find a woman who will love and accept your choices. I assume it is a woman you are looking for?"

"Don't worry Dad. I'm well aware of how difficult my road will be and yes, I am only interested in women. I live in hope that Livvy and I can sort out our ...
