carefully deposited her duffel bag containing her ice skates next to the mudroom door. The warmth of the house smacked her in the face and she sighed happily to be out of the chilly air. Although she loved the community outdoor rink, being in the middle of a cold spell in the Canadian north definitely meant that it was hard to spend any amount of time there before fingers, toes, and noses froze almost as solid as the ice underneath the blades of her skates. -25 degrees celsius was no joke.
Still, an hour was a decent length of time to make some laps with her beau. It was a perfect Saturday night date night, and Harper absolutely loved nights like this when it was clear but nippy and the fairy lights strung around the fence glimmered and cast a beautiful glow over the ice. There were people laughing and having fun all around, children chasing each other down as they raced for the other end of the rink, and hot chocolate abounding. Typically, Harper was pretty good at staying away from sugary drinks but this was the perfect excuse. She couldn't have been happier with the way the night had turned out.
"Dad?" She called, voice lilting and soft, carried down the hallway to the living room where she could hear the television playing in the background. It was just a little after ten, not overly late by any stretch of the imagination. She slipped out of her boots and coat, hanging her mittens on the drying rack before she started to pad down the hall to investigate the noise.
"I'm home!"
Although Harper was 22 she still lived at home with her father, Andrew Hastings. This was her final year of university and it had only made sense for her to save the cost of living by staying at home. The university was only about a 45-minute commute, and to not have to spend money on an apartment and groceries on top of tuition had seemed like a no-brainer. Surprisingly, dad had been happy to have her home, too. She figured he'd be more than ready to kick her out and live a life all on his own. He'd been alive twice as long as her, but the best years of his life had been spent at home with a child who depended on him and a lack of ability to accomplish certain goals he'd had before she was born.
Harper suspected he was lonely.
At 44, Andrew had lived the life of a single dad to one wild child and never really seemed to find anyone to settle down with. It was a shame because he took good care of his body, ate right, was attractive from an objective standpoint, and had the personality of a champ. He was strong and even somewhat old-fashioned, believing in the results of hard work, and he'd done well to provide a happy, well-rounded life for his precious baby girl. Any woman would be lucky to have him and Harper didn't quite know why he'd never really tried dating. She'd mentioned it once, but he'd just laughed and blown her off.
Harper's mother had abandoned her the day she was born, refusing to even see the baby she'd just given birth to. Mentally, she wasn't in the right place, dad had told her. It wasn't a subject he really wanted to get into detail about but he had once mentioned that Harper's birth mother had issues with addiction and her priorities weren't straight. That was the end of the discussion. Although Andrew was fairly young when Harper was born, both he and his parents had stepped up and raised her to be a woman they could all be proud of.
He'd worked hard to give her the best life and he still insisted on it.
Things were about to change.
Her boyfriend,
Matthews had wanted to come in and wish her goodnight, as well as to sit down and have a chat with Harper's father but Harper had only winced and promised that they'd do dinner next week -- it was no secret that Andrew was not necessarily the biggest fan of Nathan even after four years of dating. He was pretty protective of his baby girl and for some reason, he had never really gotten on board with her daughter's high-school sweetheart. This time of night really wasn't the best for the conversation that needed to be had...
Harper crossed the floor and pressed a kiss against her father's temple, smiling down at him fondly as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and squeezed him tightly. She almost wished that some of the cold that had seeped into her bones might be stolen away by her father's protective embrace.
"How was your night? Don't tell me you spent the night watching some boring ol' movie, unless of course you found yourself some hot company? Snuck her out just before I got home?" She teased, eyebrows waggling absurdly.
Harper and her dad were close. Maybe it was just the nature of their relationship, but growing up as the child of a single-father meant that he took up the slack and filled those gaps that a mother would traditionally fill. He was her best friend next to Nathan, and they had little to no secrets. She could talk to him about anything.
She just hoped that he might not react how she predicted he might to the news she had to drop on him.
