The Princess kicked the grill of her car in frustration. Why? Why did this have to happen now? All she wanted to do was get there.
She had been a Big girl all week, doing the job thing and being responsible, but it was Friday afternoon and her weekend had begun.
Missing her Daddy horribly, she packed a small bag of the essentials any girl wouldn’t want to be without – no matter where she went. And she hopped in her car, speeding down the open road on a trip to her Daddy’s house. It was supposed to be a surprise visit and she had planned on getting to his place before him so she could be lying in the middle of his bed when he got home – nursing on her pacifier and wearing nothing but her diaper.
Instead, she was leaning up against the drawn hood of her car, wondering why it had overheated yet again. Tears came to her eyes and she sulked at her situation. All she wanted to do was make him happy, to catch him off guard for once and to surprise him. The heat of late afternoon added in to the meltdown she was about to have. But then she remembered something he once said …
“Princess,” she remembered hearing him say with that deep soothing timbre that owned her heart. “Nothing is impossible to fix. You simple need to close your eyes, take a deep breath and focus on what you need. If you do that, the answer will present itself.”
She closed her eyes and followed the directions her Daddy had given her when faced with a problem. And when she opened her eyes, she remembered that a car which was overheating could still be driven with caution, if she turned the heater on full blast and put the windows down.
She got back in the car and cranked up the heater, realizing she would be a sweaty mess when she got to him. She started down the road again, checking her gauges and seeing the engine temperature drop.
She was gonna make it there, after all. And all because she remembered something he once said.
