Siri was a sweet girl, doted on by a protective father in her younger years, then entrusted into the care of a posh boarding school. There she made fast friends with her dorm mates; there were strict rules but she got a good high education and the attendants were as caring as they could. As long as she felt safe, protected by her dad and lots of secrets, everything was well.
Safe on the knowledge that her dad and a lot of barriers protected her, she was an ordinary little girl. Until her dad wasn’t around anymore and the school’s safety went up in flames...
After things went south, one Richard Aldana stepped in. Rude, brash, but caring all the same. Siri was too young, too trusting to question the why and just how much was loyalty to Dave and nothing more.
At the boxing club everyone took a liking to her and she liked everyone. Chubby especially welcomed her; Chubby liked everyone too. It could have been better for everyone if she took him as a role model, but she lashed on Aldana as he was the first one to help her in her time of need, even though he tried to step down soon after, before caving in again and definitively.
Tall, dark, handsome and with her dad’s favour, she found him appealing and wanted him to like her as much as she liked him.
So she started imitating his behaviour, his speech pattern, she absorbed his vocabulary.
What a waste, according to her uncle who frowned upon Aldana’s uncouthness.
Well, if he didn’t like it, he should have stepped in the moment he learned about Dave’s death and acted like family; it’s too late now. Siri’s imprinted on her new replacement dad and won’t change her mind.
