She loved it when people opposed her father and what he stood for, she had always believed and considered his ethics to be far from giving; but his paid crew of spin-doctors always managed to turn it around in one way or another.

She was always the last one out, spending at least ten minutes giving her goodbyes to the other children as Alex watched with a loving smile.
