Michael looked behind her and found the puppy. Joey, who was following her, took hold of the puppy, whereas Madison and Sara were also standing beside her, trying to catch their breath.

“Eva, it’s ok, dear; see, I am here with you. You are going to be fine, “he started saying sweet things to her, and soon Eva regained her normal breathing.

Eva’s friends were witnessing the bond and affection between the father and daughter. They know how much Eva loves her father; they still couldn’t believe that Eva was going to stay away from her dad for six months.

When Eva was five years old, street dogs attacked her. People who were present in the park saved Eva. That time she got injured badly; however, her wounds healed with time, but it had a tremendous impact on Eva’s mind. From that day onward, Eva developed cynophobia and felt scared at the sight of dogs too. Michael tried to help her, but she couldn’t control her anxiety whenever she found dogs near her.

Michael reached home with a tired Eva by his side, as so much running made her exhausted. After dinner, they started with their packing, and while Eva was packing her bag, a loud voice startled her. It was her friends who were standing with more bags in their hands.

“What are you doing here, and what are these?

“They are some of our designer dresses. You are going to live with Smiths; if they take you to attend a party or an event, then these dresses will...“

"Wait, I think you all are really obsessed with this Smith family. Why the hell will I attend their business parties or events? Listen, I am just going to stay in their house... That’s all ok.

Joey and Madison just shrugged their shoulders at this statement by their stupid friend. They both looked at Sara for help and she took the charge

“Fine, you will go nowhere, we know, but for our friendship's sake, please keep these dresses. “

"Okay, “Eva got along with them unwillingly

Joey asked Eva a little hesitantly, “Eva, I need a favor from you. I mean, whenever you meet my love, Stephen, can you please touch his biceps and tell me if it’s real or not?”

Eva raised an eyebrow at her and then giggled at her thought; the other two also joined them. ‘

Eva hugged Joey. “I miss you all so much. “

All of them shared a group hug, and their friends left for their own homes, not before helping her pack.

The next morning, Eva started her journey with her father. They were going to the New York airport, and from there they will part ways. Eva will start for LA, and Michael will start for the site location.

On reaching the New York airport, Eva kept herself close to her dad. It was very hard for her to leave his dad, and Michael was going through the same emotions.

“Don’t be sad, dear; six months will pass before you even know, and I trust Rose with you, and you will enjoy being in their house. Rose will take excellent care of you.

But if you have any problem adjusting there, call me. I will try to make some other arrangements. Oh, I forgot to tell you that there is a network unavailable at that place, so maybe you cannot connect to the call. “

“Then what will we do, dad? I want to talk to you daily.”

Michael smiled at her. " I want that; don’t worry, I will call you whenever I come to a nearby town.“

“Okay “

The flight announcement for New York was soon heard by them. Eva couldn’t control more, and she hugged her dad, sobbing badly. Michael was in tears too, but he had to keep himself strong for his daughter.

"I will miss you, dad.”

“I will miss you too; don’t worry, I will come soon to pick you up. Okay, now no more crying

“You have the contact number of Rose and the address too. I know she will wait for you at the airport, but if you can't find her there, then call her okay. “

“Dad, take care of yourself and don’t overexert yourself."

“I will now go.“

Eva hugged her dad once more, and soon she entered the fight.

Little did she know she was going to meet someone who would get so smitten with her he will not let her go anywhere
