Alaina was gently lowered to the soft and cold sheets. She looked up at her father and yawned.
“Goodnight, honeybee,” he said, tucking her into the covers and kissing her on the forehead.

She scrunched up her nose in confusion. “Me?”

She yawned. “I am?”
“You are,” he said with a nod. “And what a future you will be. I love you, honeybee. Sleep tight.”
She closed her eyes. “Okay, Daddy,” she whispered, drifting off to sleep.
