'Something like that.' He said with a paternal chuckle; the sort of adoring brush-off of a parent to their child when there came a topic too complex to be discussed further.
He smiled at that, her sapphire love for him, and he nodded with that understanding. Coming to a halt and placing his palms against her cheeks, Mort gave his daughter a long and lingering look, before pressing his lips softly against her forehead. "You will know, my daughter. You won't be able to miss it. It isn't a switch suddenly flipped, more like the rise of the sun. When you are watching, you can't determine the degrees of brightness. It is only when you look away, when you let your thoughts wander, that you can glance back and see that all has gone from night to day. Love, is like that. If you watch it too hard, stare too intently, you'll never see what it is becoming."
