I needed her.
I needed the nights just like this one where I didn’t need anything but the look in her eyes. The look that told me she would, in fact, love me forever. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought I would be this lucky. I’d done some shitty things in my past, especially when it came to Dana, and I wasn’t sure how I got this fortunate.
We broke apart and danced to the rest of the song, her head on my chest.
“That was a good song,” she said as we continued to dance to the next song.
“It’s a favorite of mine.”
I felt her smile against me. “Why is that?”
I shrugged, still swaying as we turned slowly in a circle. “It has a good beat.”
“Is that theonlyreason?”
“Look at you trying to be all coy.”
“I’m not being coy, you are.”
I leaned back from her, causing her to look at me. “What do you want me to say? The moment I looked into your eyes, you had me from hello?”
“You know it’s true.” She laughed.
“Shut up.” I grabbed her face and took her lips again. “Stop being a smart ass since I can’t punish you for it.”
She smirked. “You’d never.”
“You made me watch that movie with the red room. I’ll tie you up and—”
“Daddy.”
My head snapped to where Cheyenne was coming through the door.Always ruining the mood!“Why aren’t you asleep, Peanut?”
“I had a bad dream, and I don’t want them to know.”
And just like that, my little girl was back.
