I never asked to be chosen as Luna
Larry stared at Roxanne with surprise. He didn’t expect to see her with his father.
“A-Ah… Miss…” He stuttered as he tried to speak.
“Larry….” She said with a glare on her face.
After giving him a reminding look, Larry remembered what she said about calling her by her name. She had also told him her name to ensure this.
“R-Roxanne… What are you doing here?” He said, looking uncomfortable with his words.
“Ah, I was just catching up with this mister here. I didn’t know he was your father. Wow, I didn’t know you had a son. Who would have thought it was Larry” Roxanne laughed as she glanced at the old man who also had an awkward look, same as Larry.
“Well… I guess it never came up, ``he said.
Larry walked closer, though he still had a nervous attitude.
“You guys don’t have to act this way. I mean, we all know one another. That’s great, isn’t it?” Roxanne said, obviously enjoying the coincidence that just occurred.
“By the way Sir, I just realised I don’t know your name. You’ve also been calling me by Young Lady, right? Well, I’m Roxanne! How about you?” She asked.
The man didn’t know how to respond to Roxanne's gesture. Assisting him once or twice was one thing, but from her expression and words, It was like she wanted them to be friends or something. This was something he wasn’t expecting.
“I’m… Uh…” He said, looking at Larry with a questioning look.
Larry sighed and just gave him a shrug, showing that he had no choice but to respond. After all, even Larry had no choice but to succumb to Roxanne's request for familiarity.
“I'm Lenard” He said finally, giving up on trying to reject her friendly suggestion.
“Wow! Mr. Lenard. That’s such a nice name. You have such a good kid too!” She replied.
