He's my dad—
the World's Most Eligible Bachelor!
Ever since Grandma, the dowager duchess, told everyone on TV that my dad was in America looking for a wife, unmarried ladies chase him everywhere. We're trying to get to my uncle's ranch, but now we're hiding out. Those women can be rough on a guy!
My dad is real cute…I can tell when Sydney looks at him. She's the nice lady who gave us a lift. My daddy looks at her kind of funny too, like he's eaten bad broccoli. But my daddy says we can't tell Sydney he's a duke. I like pretend, but I sure wish Sydney knew. Maybe then she'd want to marry my dad…and be my new mommy!
Ever hopeful,
Penny
