“You’re okay, Revna. Everything is going to be alright.”

She clung onto him as Daddy tried to pry her off.

“No!” She screamed. “Stop!”

Daddy stopped and let her hold onto him. Why couldn’t he understand she didn’t want to meet them now.

“Hi!” a girly voice yelled. “I’m Tina!”

Revna didn’t pull her head from Daddy’s side, no matter how curious she was about who the person could be.

“Revna. It’s not nice to ignore people,” Daddy scolded her.

“Daddy, I don’t wanna,” she whined, briefly looking at him before putting her face back into his body.

Daddy pulled her arms off of him and knelt down in front of her.

“What did Daddy say before?”

Revna didn’t know. He had said countless things leading up to them coming here. How was she supposed to remember all of them?

“Try for at least five minutes. If you really don’t like it, then you can come to me and we’ll leave. But try for at least five minutes. You might surprise yourself and love hanging out with them.”

“I highly doubt that,” she whispered.

“Try.”

Revna figited on her feet. She had never been good at meeting new people. She had never been good at getting on stage and dancing in front of thousands of people. Normally she took medicine to help her nerves but she didn’t have any with her.

“I’m nervous.” Tears formed in her eyes once again. “I. What if you leave? I don’t want you to leave.”

Daddy cupped her face with his hands. “I’m going to be in your line of sight the whole time. If you move spots, I’ll move mine so you can always see me. I’m not going to leave you,” he gently said. “If you get nervous or don’t want to do anything, you can come to me. But after you try for at least five minutes. Actually try and not fake it.”

Revna scrunched up her nose. She didn’t like that answer. She just wanted Daddy to tell her she could stay with him or they could go home. That sounded a lot better.

“They are waiting patiently to meet you,” Daddy whispered. “They are so excited. Can you be brave for Daddy?”

She shook her head. Being brave took a lot out of her.

“I bet they can answer some of the questions you have in your head. They’ve all gone through the same thing you are currently going through. Daddy can always answer questions you have, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to someone who gets you.”

Daddy did have a good point and she hated that. There were several questions going through her head. Maybe she should talk to them and ask them questions. But would Daddy be able to hear her conversation?

He said something about heightened hearing. She didn’t know how far that extended, but if he was going to be in eyesight of her, he was going to hear what she asked.

Revna needed to weigh the pros and cons. She desperately wanted to now talk to them about how they coped with everything but did she want Daddy to hear?

“Okay,” she sighed.

Daddy kissed her forehead. “Such a good girl. I’ll be right in your line of sight. If anything happens, I’ll be right there and if you get overwhelmed, you come to Daddy.”

Nodding her head, she turned around and stopped in her spot. Several pairs of eyes were on her.

“You’re okay. Go on and say hi,” Daddy encouraged her.

“Hi,” she whispered, waving her hand.

“Come sit with us!” a girl raised her voice. “I saved you a spot right next to me!”
