Ethan Sinclair showed up at her graduation ceremony.
Lianne Lianne was still touched, but it was no longer a pleasant surprise.
It seemed Ethan Sinclair had never missed a single important day in her life.
When she was little, Lianne Lianne loved watching *Devil's Sea Struggle* with her father, Cameron Lianne. Neither of them liked the saying, "A father's love is as steady as a mountain, silent and unspoken." To them, it sounded like an excuse to build a grand monument for a father who didn't truly love his child.
Cameron Lianne had told Lianne that she existed as a whole person, not just as someone's child, and she certainly didn't need to obey anyone's instructions or teachings.
If Cameron Lianne did something wrong, Lianne could tell him directly, express her own needs, and explain her own thoughts. But she knew how hard he worked, so for minor issues, she would just turn a blind eye.
The Bible says that love is patient and enduring.
