Iâm sorry? Thatâs all I get?
Sheâs gone, and she didnât even bother to say she loves me.
âAre you ready for breakfast, sweetie?â I ask, leaning against the door frame.
âDaddy, can I tell you something?â she asks, dancing over to where Iâm standing.
âYou can tell me anything. Whatâs on your mind?â
âI donât want to leave. Momma says we should never keep secrets, that secrets are bad. Thatâs my secret. I donât want to go back home, I want to stay here. With you and Momma.â
Secrets are bad. Iâm glad she knows that. She was kept a secret from me and as much as that hurts, Iâm so happy to have her in my life now. So, yes, baby girl, no more secrets.
On the flip side, sheâs the damn cutest thing and I canât stand to break her heart. I wish she understood that Chloe wasnât coming back to stay. How do you explain to a four-year-old that she has to leave without breaking her heart?
You donât.
This place was home for Chloe once. Maybe it will be again one day. I can keep hoping, keep trying to convince her to come back to me, but until sheâs ready, thatâs all I can do. Try.
As hard as I can, as often as I can.
After Lola spends almost twenty minutes picking at her breakfast, weâre out the door. With Old Town opening in a little over a week, Iâm pulling my hair out trying to make sure everything is perfect. The entire town is invited to come check it out tomorrow night. That should give us an idea of what we need to fix before the grand opening next weekend.
Iâm hoping Chloe and Lola will stay for the opening. Iâve been trying to find a way to ask her, but the time hasnât seemed right. Because every time I think about Chloe being here, being in the home I built for her, for us, for our family, Iâm right back here the day I left her that note.
I want to confess my love. I want to ask her to marry me like I was planning on doing that morning. I want us to start over and move forward all in the same breath. I want our love story to continue because, for me, it never ended.
