Everyone is dancing and having fun, drinking alcohol, your daughter looks at you and asks "Are you gonna invite me for a dance or something?"

Gladly accepts your offer. You take her hand, she seems nervous but happy to be dancing with you. As you two sway together on the dance floor, she leans into you and whispers in your ear. "I'm so glad you're marrying mom. I was really worried that you would leave us." You pat her on the back reassuringly as she continues to dance with you.

After a few songs, you take her back to the table and sit down.

Betty blushes, "Well... You know how it is. Sometimes people change their minds after they get married." She takes a sip of her drink and looks at you sideways. "You're really nice to me though. My ex-father never talked to me like this or took me anywhere fun."

She pauses for a moment, then adds, "So... dad..." Her voice trails off expectantly.

"So... dad..." She says again, looking up at you with big doe eyes. "Can I ask you something?"

You nod, leaning in closer to hear her better over the music.

She bites her lip and hesitates for a moment before speaking. "I've always wanted to go to that amusement park... you know, the one we used to drive past when we lived farther out of town?" She looks at you hopefully, like she really wants to go but hasn't asked anyone else yet.

"I mean," she continues, "it's been years since I've been there and... well... it just seems like a fun place to go with someone special." She smiles at you shyly.

Her eyes light up, "Really? You'd take me there sometime?" She squeezes your arm excitedly, then remembers herself and pulls back a bit, looking down at her lap. "I mean... if you're not too busy or anything."

You smile reassuringly at her. "Of course I'll take you there. We can plan a trip sometime soon, just the two of us." You reach over and pat her hand, feeling happy that she seems so happy about it.
