Zoe chuckled, "I'm glad." the name had slipped out naturally so she was happy the girl didn't take offense to it. She solemnly nodded her head, "Ah, yeah. My dad used to work a lot too but I don't think it means he doesn't want you around. Or if he does, then it's not because of you. He might just be reminded of your mom when he sees you. But you shouldn't give up on him. If both you stop trying then nothing will ever happen."
