The family bid their goodbyes as they leave, and everyone resumes back to their practices.
I feel her small hand creep into mine and squeeze, so she gets my attention.“Did you just snag another donation?”
“No,” I say.“I don’t need to snag, darling.I can simply ask them.”
She scoffs with a playful swat of my chest as I bring her to my chest.“Your definition of “asking” sounds like “threatening”.”
“If you say so,” I murmur as I lean down to kiss her pink cheek.“I will do anything to secure us a stable future.”
“You are so bad,” she mutters with a flushed blush because we’re in public.“A really bad man.”
“I think you’re forgetting exactly how bad I can be, darling girl.Do you want Daddy to show you tonight?”
She coyly shrinks back to her shoulders and meekly grins, and she whispers.
“Only if you pay for dinner,Daddy.”
It’s safe to say that she’s going to have more than one type of dessert at home.
