Chapter 3

“Daddy!” I hear Olive screaming out excitedly to her father.

Jackson must be home.

I smile and walk down the hall from where I was cleaning the bathroom.

Jackson is crouched down cuddling Olive. Her little arms are stretched as wide as they can go and her face is shoved into his chest.

“Hey, baby,” I say, walking up to them.

“Hey, Ace,” he smiles warmly. Standing, he picks Olive up and cradles her on his hip. His other arm goes wide, gesturing for me to walk in. I wrap my arms around his waist and kiss his neck.

“Missed you,” I murmur.

“Missed you, too darlin’.” He kisses my forehead and then chuckles as Olive swats him away.

“No,” she snaps.

“Oh, but this is my mummy,” Jackson teases.

“No, my mummy,” Olive retorts.

I go up on my toes and smack a loud kiss on Jackson’s cheek.

“My daddy,” I grin at her.

Her eyes go wide and then they narrow in anger. “NO!” She shouts. “My daddy.” She grabs Jackson’s cheeks and tries to pull him closer to her. “My daddy,” she chants and lays wet kisses over his face.

“Aww,” I pout, feigning hurt, but really, it warms my heart.

Still carrying Olive, Jackson walks in and tosses his bag of dirty clothes in the laundry.

“Want some lunch?” I ask.

“Yeah, darlin’, that would be good.”

I set about preparing us some lunch as Olive keeps her father entertained.

“How was the muster?”

“Good. Bloody hot, though.”

“I bet it was. Hey, Olive, did you tell daddy you saw Santa yesterday?”

She begins giving Jackson an exciting recap of visiting Santa yesterday, and I serve lunch.

It’s nice to have him home, even if he was gone for only one night.
