“Really?”
“Yes, Little one. Think about it.”
She nodded.
“While you’re thinking about it, do you want to go meet some of the other Littles?”
Revna immediately shook her head. That wasn’t a good idea.
“They are all really excited to meet you. I’ve gotten so many texts and mind links asking when they can meet you.”
She looked at him skeptically. Was he telling the truth or just telling her something to make her want to meet them?
“Daddy pinky promises that they are really excited. Daddy can’t break a pinky promise. Do you want to go meet them?”
“Okay.”
CHAPTER EIGHT
REVNA
Nerves ran through Revna as Daddy carried her out of the house. They were on their way to meet some of the other Littles. Was she ready for this? Probably not.
“You’re okay,” he whispered as they got closer.
She could hear people talking, making her cling onto Daddy even tighter. Her leg was fully healed but Daddy insisted on carrying her. Maybe he knew she would likely run if he hadn’t been carrying her.
It was tempting, very tempting.
“I don’t know,” she whispered. “Can we go back home?”
Daddy stilled and smiled at her.
“I love hearing you call it home, but we can’t. Try and talk to them for at least five minutes. Then if you don’t like it, I’ll take you home.”
Revna shook her head. She didn’t want to go over there and interact with them. What if they didn’t like her? What if they made fun of her? What if some of them were extremely rude and turned everyone against her?
There were too many possibilities and she didn’t want to be in any one of them.
“Daddy.”
“You’re okay. I’ll be in your line of sight the whole time.”
“You’re leaving me?” Her eyes went wide.
Revna tightened her hold on Daddy’s neck. They weren’t even there yet but she didn’t want to get caught off guard. What if he sat her down and just left?
“I’m not going to leave you, Little one. Daddy is going to be a couple feet away but I’m not leaving you.”
That didn’t make her feel any better. While she didn’t know him well, she felt comfortable around him and didn’t want to be separated.
“We’re here.”
She buried her head into his neck, not wanting to look at everyone. All conversation stopped as Daddy stood in his place.
“Nooooo,” she whined as Daddy sat her on the ground.
Revna immediately wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his body.
