"So why are you so afraid of a normal guy?" Allison was sitting at lunch when Zoë came up to her and startled her out of her thoughts. "Zoë. Hi. What did you say?" Zoë took that as her queue to sit so she pulled a chair, sat across from Allison, and asked her again, "Why are you afraid of my dad?" Allison was confused as to what Zoë was actually asking her and Zoë seeing this began to talk. "The dance you shared, the words and the kissing. It really looked like you seemed interested in him then at the party you totally blew him off and went with Stark like nothing had happened between the two of you, why?" Allison pushed her tray of food aside and sat back in her chair, "Zoë I think you are a very smart caring perceptive young lady but you are the last person to demand for any kind of explanation from me but I will give you one. I am not interested in your father he is a nice man but I am married to Nathan Stark and while Nathan and I may not be living together or have a relationship that resembles a marriage at this time he is my husband and as such I will continue to respect him and try to make my marriage work. Now if you'll excuse me I have work to do." Allison stood and walked away from Zoë leaving the girl even angrier than she had come and in anger people due stupid things and it was in that moment of stupidity that she stood and yelled at the top of her lungs, "You know what Allison you keep lying to yourself and the day you stop your going to be sorry because my dad will be with someone that truly appreciates him and sees him for all that he is worth! So you know what your loss!" Allison faltered in mid stride but quickly resumed her walk to her office she had real matters to attend not the silly notions of a 15 year old girl.

Jack was beside himself, how could Zoë go and confront Allison. He was proud and embarrassed at the same time so he did not know how to react so he had asked her when she came home to go to her room. "Might as well go and discuss this." Zoë and him had grown closer as a father and daughter and her having gone to Allison only proved to him how much she cared for him as such. "Zoë." Jack knocked on Zoë's daughter as he called her name. Zoë was laying down on her bed holding on to her pillow with her back turned to him, "Yeah." Jack sat at the end of her bed by Zoë's feet so that he could look at her while they were talking, "Zoë I am touched that you went to Allison but also embarrassed, what is or isn't going on between is between her and I the problem that with your outburst now all of Eureka is more aware of the situation than they were before." Zoë couldn't help the couple of tears that escaped her eyes and Jack noticing this held his arms open and she rushed to hug him. "I am just so mad at her for leading you on and then not coming to tell you up front that she is not interested. She needs to stop leading you on so that you can be happy and either look at someone else or just to not be interested in her anymore." Jack patted Zoë in the back as she cried a few more tears, "Zoë thank you for caring it means more to me than you will ever know but you don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself-I am a big boy." Zoë had to laugh at his comment and she pulled away form his embrace, "I am sorry I won't come near her again and leave your love life to you, o.k." Jack nodded and Zoë laid back down she needed to rest her emotions had gone on a roller coaster ride and she needed some sleep.
