"He said," Derek started and then took a breath as he gazed into Julia's
eyes. "He said no hanky panky with his daughter...among other things."
Well, it was a little late to be worrying about that really, but it still
felt odd being told such a thing at his age or at any age for that matter.
It was never comfortable being the man in a woman's life, when that woman
had a father.
Julia chuckled and kissed him, a curious expression in her gaze as she
repeated the phrase. "Pops actually said hanky panky? My father?"
That made her giggle a little. Hanky panky. She had never known him to use
those words. Now she remembered a time or two hearing him joking around
with her mother about indecent behavior and quipped about that "He used to
tease Mom about indecent behavior. Of course, to them indecent behavior
meant not following through with something."
"'Indecent not to show a person how much you love them. That's what
indecent is.'" she quoted him before leaning toward Derek and running her
lips softly across his and grinning again "But hanky panky sounds funny
anyway and he can't say that... he did it too much with Mom. Wouldn't be
fair."
