"Don't be. And yes, I taught her during one of our company picnics. I didn't realize she kept playing." He says while smiling to himself.

"Alright, time for speed questions."

"Speed questions?"

"It's a game I play anytime I try to get to know someone new." He explains.

"Okay!" I laugh.

"Ready?"

"Yep!"

"Favorite color?"

"Pink and yellow."

"Favorite food?"

"Uhhhh...sushi."

"Birthday?"

"August 14th."

"Chocolate or Vanilla?"

"Depends." I laugh.

"Favorite show?"

"Outer Banks."

"Movies or books?"

"Books."

"Yep, you're definitely my daughter." He laughs.

Something about that statement made my heart grow.

"Cats or dogs?"

"Dogs."

"Good because I have three labradors that love meeting new people."

"You have three labs?" I gasp.

"Yep, I'm a big dog lover."

"Sweet or salty?"

"Ooh, that's hard."

"This could make or break our relationship." He jokes.

"Hmmm...sweet."

"Ding ding ding! You passed the test."

I laugh.

I genuinely laugh.

"Alright, my turn," I say.

"Go for it."

"Favorite food?"

"Easy, confetti cake."

"Hahaha, what?"

"What can I say...I love sweets."

"Alright...when's your birthday?"

"March 12th"

Pisces...interesting.

"If you weren't a doctor, what would you be?"

"Oooo good question, probably an astronaut."

"Dream vacation?"

"Antarctica."

"Woah, why Antarctica?"

"I just feel like no one ever goes there. I mean obviously, I would love to go to Italy and Paris but Antarctica just seems so mysterious."

He's definitely not what I pictured.

He's funny and kind.

I think we'll get along great.

"Okay, last one...what made you want to reach out to me?"

"I never stopped looking for you and when I found you, I would try to talk to you however there was always something in my way. Like a month ago when your brother was in the hospital and Christian was his doctor. I saw you in the waiting room with the two boys sitting at the table behind us."
