She had spent all of last night, thinking about him. It’s how she spent every night and how she spent every day, too.
But when she went to sleep, she knew that when she awoke, her Daddy would be there. And that made her feel better than any bliss that chocolate could provide, more glowing than any candle lit room could be illuminated by, more emotional than any tear-jerking girly flick could make her, happier than when finding all the bargains at the mall, more excited than when she awaited his return texts, more peaceful than she felt in a bubble bath & so overcome with littleness she tingled all over as she dreamt.
She startled awake when she heard her Daddy unlock the front door. Sitting up, she frantically searched her bed sheets for her pacifier and then she found her pose – pretty in pink and glowing.
Her Daddy walked in and his face lit up with an adoration that words could do no justice in conveying. Seeing that passion in his eyes, her heart beat more strongly than when her breath had been taken away. He walked over to her and she could see in his irises that she meant more to him than life itself. Her Daddy welled up with tears …
… and then her Daddy gushed.
