Erica gives Natalya's hand one final squeeze before letting go. She shakes Natalya's father's hand with both of hers. " I am,mr dobros. It is so nice to meet you." Erica says in her sweetest voice. "Thanks for letting me visit." This ranks slightly below Natalya joking she was only 15 on the Erica Hess fear scale.

Erica nods and smiles. She absolutely adores the way he says his own name.
" ok mr...roman" Erica says nervously glancing back at Natalya. She slowly sits and crosses her ankles. She studies Romans face for a few seconds,Natalya has a lot of his features in Erica's mind.

Erica holds Natalya's hand and looks up at her,smiling. " yes.yes it is.i love her,roman. I love her deeply and would do anything for her." Erica says,looking at Natalya while she answers the question. She looks back to Roman and nods." I love your daughter." She states again.

Erica blushes." Yes,sir. We already plan to cause chaos at the old folks home,when we both are decrepit and wheelchair bound."Erica smiles at the thought of them driving motorized wheelchairs through halls and knocking over bed pans.

Erica Laughs too. She is starting to warm up to this fellow. "Thank you soooo much!" Erica grins at roman and to Natalya. " it means a lot that you approve of me. " she says happily. "You'll make a wonderful father in law."

Erica tenses slightly at the mention of mother dobros. She uncrossed then crosses her legs again." I understand,roman. Especially since natycakes wasn't always..." She glances at her hand holding Natalya's. " it can be a big shock. truthfully,I was worried you'd be less than understanding when you actually saw a
your daughter with a woman." She smiles at roman. " I was raised correctly,I will always be respectful of your wife and Natalya's mother."

Erica smiles at roman and laughs softly.," she most certainly is wrong. Especially when that....view,blinds her to her own daughter's happiness." Erica brings Natalya's hand to her lips and kisses it. " trust me,if we were in our home and not yours, I wouldn't be polite about this at all."

Erica holds Natalya closely." I couldn't imagine it any other way!" She smiles looking from Natalya to roman." A father should always walk his daughter down the aisle." She says this slightly sadly but remains smiling

Erica shakes her head quickly."no. My mother and father are...gone. they were never seen after the tsunami...." Erica frowns and looks anywhere but anyone's face.

Erica smiles slightly and leans into the kiss. " its fine natycakes. I have you and your father now. " she sighs. " my parents were great. Always 100 percent behind me." She smiles at their memory and at the ring on Natalya's finger.
