Why is that do you think? Is she looking for a father?
I think that's possible, given that she seems the "cuddling" type.
I dunno what she has against her real father, who's a widower and might, or might not, be living with one of her sisters.
Being a man though, I can't fathom what draws a woman to a man.
For example, even though this was a couple of generations before you and me, I still can't figure out why women of the time considered the late Clark Gable
handsome; he looked grotesque to me.
