  “Okay Daddy!” I say happily as I let him lead me upstairs. I don’t know where we’re going ‘cause usually Daddy just takes me to my room and leaves me there until he’s ready to talk to me again.

  “I’ll race you,” he says with a smile.

  I giggle and clap my hands. I’m so excited because Daddy never asked me to race before so I know that whatever happens is gonna be fun!

  “On your mark … get set … go!” I shout, as I begin to run up the stairs as quickly as I can. He laughs and gives me a head start, then passes me two steps at a time, and holds his arms out when he gets to the top stair.

  “That’s not fair! You’re bigger than me!” I shout, stomping my foot angrily.

  He picks me up in his arms and spins me over his head and gives me a kiss on the mouth. I laugh and push him away ‘cause his whiskers feel funny and they tickle my face.

  “I wanna walk,” I say pushing at him. He holds me for a moment longer, the smile leaving his face, and he nods. Once I’m on my feet, he holds a hand out and we start walking down the hallway.

  It only takes me a couple of steps to realize where we’re going and I can’t believe that he thinks I’m a big enough girl to finally see his room. Daddy’s never let me in there before because he told me that’s a place for grown ups.

  As soon as we’re both in the room, he closes the door behind him and clicks the lock in place. I turn around and smile at him, my hands behind my back, and he chuckles.

  “Why don’t you get on the bed and we can play a little game,” he says, in a weird voice. “I’m gonna show you how much I love you, Darby.”

  I raise an eyebrow at him, but then I shrug and get on the bed like he asks me to. Daddy would never hurt me and I know that he loves me ‘cause he tells me so every day.

  And now, I’ll get to find out how much he loves me ‘cause he promised me that one day he would show me.
