CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

The years fly by...

September, 2003

Mac was spending an afternoon with his daughter in the Tri-Cities. It was a warm, sunny day, so Mac and Cassie were at the park. He wore a tee and a baseball cap with his jeans. She wore a little denim jacket with a pink flowered tee underneath, jeans, and a little pink ball cap he’d brought her that said ‘Daddy’s Girl’.

"Daddy?" Cassie asked, kicking her feet under the bench where they sat. "Why can't I see my baby brother?"

Mac had just finished showing her pictures of Connor, snuggled on a soft blue blanket, his eyes open for once. "Because, he's too little to travel. When he gets a little older, I'll bring him to see you."

She scowled, the look comical on her sweet, round face under the mop of golden curls. She kicked harder. "Then why can't I come see him?"

He hated this question. This wasn't the first time she'd asked it since Connor was born, and it likely wouldn't be the last. And every time he had to give the same goddamn answer. "Because, sweetheart, your mama don't want you leaving her."

Cassie squirmed off the bench and stood on the dried grass, hands on her hips. "Why not?" she demanded. "Zachary and his mommy don't live with his daddy. But he gets to go see his daddy alla time. Why can't I?" She stuck her lower lip out and it trembled—just a little, but enough to melt Mac’s heart.

Mac reached down, caught her by her tiny waist, and swung her up to stand on his knees as he sat on the bench. She stared back at him with big, hazel eyes just like his. He guessed she'd also gotten his stubbornness. His own mother always said he'd never known when to quit.

"Because," he said in that voice parents use when they're done arguing. "Your mama says. And until you're a good bit older, you've got to do what she says. And nothing Daddy can do about it."

And didn't that sting to admit. There wasn't a father alive who didn't want to be the solver of all problems, slayer of all dragons for his little girl.

Cassie's lip quivered again, and she opened her mouth to argue some more.

Mac stood, bearing her up with him in the crook of his arm. "Hey, how about we go get you a great big ice cream sundae, with a cherry on top. Yeah?"

Her eyes brightened. "Not a sundae. Want ice cweam cone."

He grinned at her. "Sounds good to me. Let's go. You want to ride piggyback, or on daddy's shoulders?"

"On your shoulders!" she shouted, arms straight up in little kid triumph.

Chuckling, Mac hoisted her up onto his shoulders, and with a grasp on both of her tiny ankles, carried her across the park to the ice cream stand.

Another crisis averted.

Somebody hand him a big, red cape.
