"No, you shouldn't, little one," I caress her cheek. If he is your family, go ahead, we will also be your family. But you should ask him, not me.

—Okay—he moves his feet—I like that, Leone wants to be my dad, because he takes care of me and told me that he lost his daughter, I lost my parents, grandparents and... I don't have anyone, Brunis.

—I know, Trix, I know.

—And he told me that he could be the father figure, friend, best friend or lion if I wanted it that way.

-And what do you want?

—I... Well, I don't remember much what it's like to have a dad, my grandfather was sick, he stuttered and he could never play with me. I don't judge him, he was very sick.

I kiss his forehead and then walk away and turn on the nightstand lamp.

—Then choose, say it and you will be given Trixi, this is your family, your safe place.

-Really?

—Yes, that's how it will always be.

—Okay.

Excited, she lets the babysitter change her, I close the door and remember my brother's true emotion when she began to stay with him to be protected and continue to grow without feeling abandoned.

—She... She told me he was like a dad.

—And how did that make you feel, Leon?

"I," he hesitated, "is that Salvatore, she's so little, she's alone."

—And I understand it, brother, but you have to ask him.

—What if he rejects me? I can be a bad father, I can... I can become someone so bad for her that she will end up hating me.

"I know," I confessed, looking into his eyes, "I know you're afraid of becoming Dante, someone bad for her, but it won't be like that, I know."

That smile filled him with courage to do things right with Trixi, he feared like me because our upbringing had been a lie and a truth, two things combined perfectly so that we could not define what a good father is and what he is. a bad father

I knew perfectly well that Leone would be a good father, he was going to succeed because he enjoyed the few months he spent with his daughter, it was a great example that had nothing in common with our father. Leone was going to achieve it, he was going to achieve it if he and Trixi complemented each other to take care of each other as father and daughter.

I stop thinking about everything that makes me remember things that I don't want to have in my head right now. I don't make it to the movie room, I stop in the kitchen because she is putting everything away and throwing away the wrappers of some candy we ate.

—How is the birthday girl?

-Happy.

He responds with a big smile on his lips.

—It's not over, are you ready for the rest?

—Yes, yes I am.

I shake my head signaling for him to follow me, I sit on the sofa in front of the big television and the fake fireplace, the crackling fire accompanies us.

—Go get your things, it's time to show off a little Emily.

—I won't be long then.

He runs away, standing on his toes. I had had too much control with her, I realized that I couldn't be a bastard by spreading her legs and fucking her without mercy, because I needed her to get her sexual beast back. She had felt so repressed in one place, and right now I couldn't come and make her feel the same.
