I’m not supposed to love him. He’s way too old, my father’s best friend, and the only one I’ve ever trusted. But when my life starts falling apart, he’s the one who shows up.
The one who protects me, steadies me, devotes his time to me. I know I shouldn’t say it. I know I shouldn’t think it. But wrapped in the arms of this big, bearded giant, every doubt is silent.
Every path is clear. I belong to him. I belong to Daddy… And I’m ready to be claimed.
