The door rang so she answered and found her dad. Once her dad entered, she greeted with a smile and kissed his cheek "Salut, Papa. Tout va bien? (Hey, daddy. Everything alright?"

"Je suis juste venu voir si tu allais bien et voir si tu accepterais d'avoir un dîner de famille avec moi, ta mère et ton frère (I was just coming to check on you and seeing if you would accept to have a family dinner with me, your mother and your brother?"David told her as he started petting Cavilla.

Before she an answer, the door opened again, Kal plods into the house. Valérie grinned, kneeling down as David watched her and asked "C'est qui? (Who is this?)

"Oh, hey. I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone would be in here."Henry said as he stopped at the door.

"Henry, this is dad, David Dubois. Papa, c'est Henry Cavill (Dad, this is Henry Cavill."Valérie smiled, introducing the two.

"Nice to meet you sir."Henry smiled, shaking David's hand as he chuckled.

"Wow. Big fan. What are you doing here? I mean a small city like Nîmes." David grinned wide at Henry as Valérie sighed, wringing her hands together "Um... dad, Henry and I are kinda of dating."

"Kinda?"Henry asked, smirking at her as she blushed, frowing and he brings his hand up to her back softly.

"I'm teasing."He echoed back at her as he smiled at David and then said "That's right. We are getting to know each other. I had few days off so I decided to come to France. I love France. So I wanted to visit other parts of France I have never been to."

"Oh... Okay then. I'm sure we'll talk about this another time then? I guess you have dinner plans then?"David decided to speak English.

"Yeah, of course we will daddy."Valérie said, nodding.

"Um... If you want to come over after you have dinner with your family, that's okay with me. Or... we could have dinner together? We just have to sit somewhere outside since I have Kal with me and you have Cavilla with you."Henry smiled.

"I don't..."Valérie began.

"Sure. Sounds good."David answered, interrupted his daughter.

"Great!"Valérie remarked as Henry chuckled, leaning down to kiss her cheek.

He lowered his voice as David leaves ahead of them as he said he had to call Julien and his wife to join "It'll be fine, kitten. I'll make it worth to you while later. We know this would come evenutally."

She sighed and grabbed her bag before placing Cavilla back on a leash "Not this soon!"

He laughed, placing Kal back on a leash as he follow her out of the house, watching her lock the door "It's fine."

Later on, Henry and Valérie were eating at an Italian restaurant with Valérie parents, David and Marie and Valérie's twin brother, Julien.

"My daughter said that you two meet on the park Jean-Jaurès with your dog and both of your dogs started playing together."Marie said.

"He did..."Valérie began.

"I did, Mam. And we sort of clicked. So we decided to get to know each other a bit better."Henry shrugged slightly.

"Exactly."Valérie agreed.

"It's just we are worried. About your life when you leave for long extended periords of time. We don't want our daughter to get hurt because of it."David sighed.

"Valid question and I know you have valid questions. But we literally only met a few days ago. We'll have to figure some things out as we go."Henry said.

"When do you leave again?"Valérie asked, suddenly nervous at the possibility of a long-distance relationship.

"In a few weeks. And then I'll be back and forth after the first of the year before I start to film Argylle... And I have a few conventions in France to meet French Fans."Henry said.

"Argylle?"Valérie said.

Henry said to her "Shh, love. But we'll have to figure it out. I have no intentions of seeing anyone else while I'm one."

"We'll work it out. I'm willing to try. My job offer me sometimes to live in another country. I could ask for this opportunity."She offered him as she smiled and he nodded, stroking her cheek gently.

"Me too."He agreed.

"Okay then. Look, I just want you to be happy. We are just worried what it will be for you to be dating such a high-profile person."Marie sighed.

"We want you to be safe and happy."Julien added.

"I am."Valérie told her family.

"We'll take it one step at a time. I want to keep her safe too."Henry smiled as he rested his hand on her thigh, grabbing her hand when she placed hers on his.
