Jacob waited for his daughter to finish setting the rice to cook before continuing his obvious displays of affection.  When it came to stressful days at work, he always counted on his wife or his daughter to always be there to help him through it just by their loving presence.  Since Merry was preoccupied with a daughter of her own, he was not the least bit put off at the opportunity to spend it with his daughter instead.  Quite the opposite really.<br/><br/><em>“Hey Dad, Sis?  Are we just soda tonight or do you want me to pull something out of the other fridge for you?”</em><br/><br/>His son's voice snapped Jacob out of his daydream, which he was always prone to falling into.  It wasn't a commonality that he would give more attention to one of his children rather than divide it evenly.  Again, it was a simple matter of him needing a source to vent his lingering anxiety from work.  He felt a little bad for doing it to Dan, even if it had been unintentional.  "Oh, sorry Danno.  Water should do fine for me along with whatever else your mother gets if anything."  Jacob felt a delicate hand slide into his and his focus was once again upon Katharine.<br/><br/><em>"Dan, sweetheart. I think it is best to allow them to be in their own world of passion. We will get the soda after they are done. The alcohol on the other hand, is something we can go grab now. So let's go grab some wine."</em><br/><br/>The sound of his wife's voice helped disarm whatever lingering guilt he felt towards paying less attention to his son.  The last thing Jacob wanted was to make Dan feel like a third wheel, so he was especially appreciative towards his loving wife for giving Katharine and him a few moments alone.  Once they walked out of the kitchen, he pulled his daughter into an intimately tight embrace and placed a deeply passionate kiss upon her lips without reservation.  His hand cradled the back of her head as his tongue danced and mingled with hers for several blissful seconds.  All the while he could feel the edge of his anxiety grow dull and less burdensome upon his shoulders.  It was enough to elicit a light moan while he savored his daughter's lips.  When the kiss came to its natural end, his eyes were all but glistening with delight and his smile was wider than it had been all day.  "I can think of no better cure for a rough day dealing with clients than coming home to your love and affection."
