EPILOGUE 2
Cameron
Glancing at my watch,a smile spreads across my face. Getting home this early means I’ll be able to take my daughter, Trinity, to school.
“I’m home,” I yell out as I enter.
“Daddy!”
That little voice is enough to make my day. No matter what kind of shift I had previously, being with her and doing things for her is what I live for. She runs to me. I clasp her around the waist and put her on my hip. Soon, I won’t be able to do this anymore. She’ll be too big.
At six, she’s still little enough.
On the day when we can’t, I’ll probably break down and cry.
“Did you sleep good?”
She hugs me tightly. “Yeah, did you?”
“Sure did,” I answer. “Not many emergencies at the firehouse last night. Is it okay if I take you to school?”
Exuberantly she nods. “Yeah, will you pick me up?”
“Of course.”
“Can we go for ice cream?”
I’m a goddamn sucker when it comes to her green eyes. “Yes, yes we can. Where’s Natalie?” I look around for Gauge’s sister. She’s been babysitting Trinity since she was three-years-old. Typically, Nat is right here with my daughter.
“She had an accident with the pancake batter.”
“Oh yeah? Did you have anything to do with it?”
Trinity screws up her mouth. “I was helping to stir and I flicked the spoon. She got it in her hair so she went to take a shower.”
“Okay Lady Bug.” I set her down. “Lemme go check on Nat and you finish eating your breakfast.”
She has a seat in her chair and starts eating. Once I know she’s got it together, I head down the hallway.
“Trinity, I’ll be out in just a sec.”
Nat’s voice is breathless, like I would imagine it’d be if I’d pleasured her.
“I’m home.” I announce my presence, but it’s too late.
The door to the bathroom is open, probably because she thought she was home alone with my daughter. As I get to the entrance, I’m greeted with my best friend’s little sister, who isn’t so little any more.
The towel wrapped around her chest is holding on for dear life where it’s knotted between her breasts. Wet curls hang down around her shoulders, begging for me to reach out and wrap one around my index finger.
“Cam.” She clamps hold of the towel. “You’re early.”
“Easy shift. I wasn’t gonna look a gift horse in the mouth when I was told to go home early. Shoulda called.”
“No, no.” She shakes her head, her pink tongue coming out to lick already wet lips. “If you give me a few minutes, I’ll get dressed and take Trinity to school.”
“I’ll take her. Was kinda looking forward to it since I got off early.”
“Okay, well let me get dressed real quick.”
