“I know you don’t, but it doesn’t mean I won’t.”
“You need to take a shower.”
I grinned again. “You should join me. You know, to make sure I get everything off.”
“I have a feeling that isn’t the only thing you’d be getting off.”
I laughed and backed away, leaving her with the residual effect of my touch.
My appearance brought me back to another place and time when she undeniably loved me, immediately making me regret the choices I’d made when it came to us. I tried not to let my mind wander to any of that. She knew where I stood, and all I could do was wait for her to come to me. After today, I hoped it’d lead her in the right direction.
Into my arms.
My life.
Our future as a family.
Capri walked into my office, where I’d be making the announcement of Locke Enterprises going public.
“Daddy, what does going public mean?”
I smiled. My daughter’s thirst for knowledge resembled mine. “It means my company is going from a private entity to a public one where people can buy shares to make money.”
“Oh…” She scratched her head. “I don’t understand.”
“It’s a bit confusing. You’d have to learn about the stock market.”
“Daddy, will you teach me?”
“Of course, baby.”
“Good.” She nodded. “Because I want to be just like you.”
I beamed, hearing her say that made my heart soar every time.
“So you’re going to tell the cameras, and then what?”
“They’re going to ask questions.”
“What kinds of questions?”
“Number, stats, reports—boring stuff like that.”
“Are they going to ask you about us?”
“More than likely.”
She cocked her head to the side. “What are you going to tell them?”
“What would you like me to tell them?”
“Hmm…” She thought about it for a second. “I think you should tell them all about us.”
“I think you’re right.”
“Daddy.” She sat on my lap, playing with my tie. “Can I be in the announcement with you?”
“If you’d like.” At least one of my girls wanted to be seen with me.
