This was such a cute and heartwarming tale, Shila! I was completely hooked from the start! How wonderful that none of her friends, including Adam, judged her for her father's choice of profession. Adam isn't thrown by the revelation at all, choosing instead to see Romy for the gentle and kind person that she is. Nothing is said or shared in malice. Everything just is... as it should be between friends. I would have loved to have known how the daybreakers got their name, what Adam's background was before he became one, and how he came to be one at such a young age.
