- You came back home only in early morning, - Archer said Levi. - May I ask where were you?
- I and mom danced in dance party, - Levi smiled. - You should go there too, dad.
- Oh... - Archer chuckled. - Don't you think I'm too old for such parties?
- Come on, dad! Dance is wonderful thing, it makes person totally free! I would be surprised if you'd start to climb on monkey bar together with Vivian and Mark, but dance is quiet different thing, - Levi smiled at his father.
- It's most important that you had a great time with your mom, my boy, - Archer said. - Although I thought you had some secret date last night, - he chuckled.
- I don't have a girlfriend yet, dad, - Levi smiled feeling embarrassed a bit. - But I really don't regret I visited dance party last night.
- That's great, Levi, I'm glad for you, - nodded Archer. - I'd like to tell you that I changed family rules a little bit.
- What do you mean, dad? - Levi looked at his father,
- I mean that you, guys, should decide which one of you want to be a heir, but not I, - Archer answered. - When all boys in our family will reach teen age then you'll decide yourselves what you want to do in your life. I think it will not be right if I'll decide it for you and your brother.
- So... I will not be the next heir? - Levi looked surprised at his father.
- I didn't say it, my boy. You'll decide it yourself. Just think carefully about it. I won't to see you upset and unhappy...
Archer wanted to say "like me", but he didn't. Levi wanted to say something to his father, but he stood and left. Archer didn't want to answer to his son's questions. It would be too hard for him.

But here was his beloved sister Karissa who was expecting her second baby. Her company always helped Archer to feel better and forget even for short about his sadness and disappointment in himself.
And here was Asia, very sweet and good friend.
- I understand that you are indifferent to women, Archer... But you can't live always suffering, - once Asia said Archer, when they cloudgazed together.
- What? - Archer almost jumped.
- I said I understand that you are indifferent to women, but you can't live always suffering, - Asia repeated.
- Please, Asia... - Archer muttered.
- I don't blame you, Archer... It's not your fault. It's your nature, - she said sincerely. - But you can't pretend that everything is ok and live only for your family and your mission. It's a time to think about yourself, dear... - she squeezed gently his hand.
Archer even bit his own lip until the blood trying to hold his tears, but it didn't help. He listened to her feeling how tears roll on his cheeks.
- When did you get it, Asia? - he asked silently.
- It wasn't hard, Archer... I am woman. When a man desires a woman, his eyes burn like a fire. I've never seen this fire in your eyes. You slept with me only because you had to sleep.
- I'm sorry, Asia... I thought I'll be able to feel a fire inside me with you... I hoped so, but...
- You don't have to sorry, Archer, - Asia held his hand. - You didn't promise to love me or marry me, you needed a baby mommy and I am here. But you should to do something for yourself, you have to be happy, Archer!
- I don't know how to be happy, Asia... I thought love isn't important, but it seems I was wrong.
- Love isn't important? Come on, man! It's most important thing in the world, Archer! This world would die without love! - Asia exclaimed.
- Maybe... - Archer wiped his tears.
- Hey... - Asia turned to him. - Why can't we go to club and have a fun? Maybe there you'll meet someone for your soul, - she winked at him and smiled.

Archer couldn't help and smiled back at her.
- If you think so... - he stood up and stretched his hand out to Asia.
Soon they were on the way to night club.

Soon they were on the way to night club.
Archer wasn't that person who liked visit night clubs. It was first time when he came there being already mature man, when his father visited night clubs being teenager. In the beginning Archer felt like in Mars here, but when he saw his sisters Karissa and Rosalie he felt better. Here were crowded. All talked, laughed, danced, drunk at the bar... Here were even kids. Archer didn't like it too much. Kids had to be at home in his opinion. He wouldn't be happy if he would see Vivian and Mark here.
But then Asia pushed him gently.
- Go and meet new people, Archer... - she whispered to his ear. - Do you see this man? He stares at you since that moment we came here.
- Really? Which one? - Archer felt how his face got red, but luckily here was dark enough and anyone couldn't see it.
- Here he is... - Asia pointed to the bar.
There really a man stood and looked at Archer.

There really a man stood and looked at Archer.
- Go and say Hello him... - Asia said silently. - Do that like you say Hello to all your baby mommies, don't be shy...
Archer really was shy. To come and say Hello to man who looks at you wasn't easy to Archer. It was different than to say Hello to future baby mommy. But still Archer dared to come to man and say Hello him.

- Hello... - a stranger muttered.
He was weird. Archer couldn't understand why he thought about him that he is weird, but he really was. A man even didn't say him his name, he just stared at him like hypnotized. Luckily some old man came to them and joined the conversation. A young man who stared at Archer only looked around and his look seemed insane to Archer.

Old man was funny. He told lots of funny stories and made Archer laugh hard.
- If only I would be younger... - old man smiled at Archer. - I would show you what means to be happy, but unfortunately, my days are already counted... - he sighed. - Don't be so sad, man... Believe yourself and listen to your heart, - he patted Archer's shoulder. - Life is just a big theater, man! - he chuckled. - Just a big theater, man, keep it in your mind, - he winked at Archer and left night club.
Archer stood long time thinking about old man's words, when suddenly he heard:
- Hey, dude... Would you like to go with me to swingers party? I think you are hot, my partner and I would be happy if you'd join us...
- What? - Archer looked surprised at man who stared at him before and later he was almost silent the whole time.
- I just invited you to swingers party... - man smiled. - You are such hottie...
Archer stared at man speachless for a while, then he bursted in laughter.
- Are you mocking at me? I know how I look and I'm really not hottie! You should look for someone else for your party!

Archer went outside quickly. He heard how stranger said him something, but he didn't listen to him. It was not what he wanted to hear. However, it seemed people don't need what he needed. Archer stood outside looking at the darkness. He felt even more disappointed than before. It was painful, very painful and Archer was helpless to change something.
- Is everything ok? - he heard Asia's voice. She reached gently for his hand.
- Yes, Asia... - Archer nodded. - If you don't mind I'll go home.
- I'll go with you... What has happened? - Asia looked worried at him.
- Nothing... No love in this world for me, - Archer turned to Asia. - People don't need love, they need other things. I feel like alien between them... - he looked at the darkness again.
- Archer... - Asia wanted to say something, but Archer shook his head.
- Don't say anything... - he said silently. - Anyone can't help me. I'm Kasanova, Asia, and I have to stay Kasanova to the rest of my days. It's my fate.
- Is everything ok? - he heard Asia's voice. She reached gently for his hand.
