“Wow,” Angelo said. “What’s wrong?”
“Want Daddy!” Storm cried out.
Angelo walked closer to her and grabbed one of her hands.
“It’s going to be okay. Can you calm down for me?” he asked. “I can get your Daddy if you want.”
Storm nodded her head. She wanted her Daddy so badly.
“Okay. I’ll call him,” he said. “Do you need or want anything else?”
“Daddy,” she whispered, tears still streaming down her face.
Angelo left the room and Hedda started to talk to her.
“Everything is going to be okay,” she said. “Miles is coming.”
Storm continued to cry. She just wanted her Daddy. She wanted to see he didn’t leave her and still wanted her. What if he came and told her he didn’t want her anymore? What if he didn’t come at all?
“Daddy,” she whimpered.
Storm didn’t know how much time passed, but the door started to open and she held her breath. Was it going to be Angelo again or was it going to be her Daddy?
“Daddy!” she yelled and made grabby hands toward him.
He hadn’t left her.
Yet.
He walked toward her, one hand behind his back, but she didn’t pay any attention to it. She just wanted her Daddy near her. She wanted to touch him, to know he was real and in front of her.
“I’m right here, Stormy,” he said. “I’m right here.”
He gave her his hand and she latched onto it.
“Scared,” she whispered.
“Why are you scared, Stormy?” he asked.
“Thoughts Daddy lefts me.”
She didn’t dare look at him, worried he was going to say he was leaving her. The thought alone of him leaving her made her chest hurt.
“Can you look at Daddy?” he asked.
She shook her head. She didn’t want to see his face when he rejected her. And she really didn’t want to see the disappointment or sorrow on his face as he told her he didn’t want her anymore.
“Stormy, look at Daddy,” he said.
Storm looked up and didn’t see any of those emotions.
“Daddy isn’t going anywhere,” he said. “I was just taking care of some business, but Daddy won’t ever leave you.”
She hugged his arm and started to giggle. So big.
“Why are you giggling?” Daddy asked.
“Big arms, Daddy,” she giggled. “Humongous!”
