I opened the door as if my intention were to rob the place. Slowly I shut it, hoping it wouldn’t creak. There was a light on in Sam’s study, some source of one coming from the upstairs hall, and I could hear the low hum of the air conditioner pushing air through the vents. I was eerily aware of everything. The house smelled like lingering chicken and cooked tomatoes. I leaned down and slipped off my shoes so I wouldn’t click on the floors as I walked. I wavered in the open area of the living room before I went to the kitchen to check for a mess. Then I thought about going upstairs for a shower, or maybe I’d just mosey to Sam’s office. Why, I didn’t know. Last night I went to make fun of my date, seek late-night companionship, and plain out see Sam before going to bed. Tonight, I’m not sure what my reason would be. Still, I headed down the hall. My heart shifted into fifth gear the closer I got. So much had changed since last night. Our lips touching, the look in his eyes when he saw me… It was all that I was thinking about. As I approached his open door, the light switched off.

I stopped, pressed the back strap of my shoe tighter in my hand, and waited to hear something. Maybe Sam would come out, accidentally bump into me, then we’d laugh, and I’d go to bed. But nothing. I took a cautious step forward. A tiny sliver of light filtered from the nightlight in the laundry room. Just enough to make my eyes adjust. I whispered, “Sam.”

I felt him take my hand and pull me inside the room. His body was firm against mine as he came closer. The shoes dropped from my hand as he cupped my chin and pressed his lips against mine. The palm of his other hand pulled me closer as his mouth parted and his warm tongue teased mine. My hands went directly to his hair, running my fingers through it. I even let out a small moan as he walked me backward to the wall. My back pressed against it. His chest was so firm…so hard.

“Daddy?”

Sam stopped almost instantly. His breath was hot on my face, as he didn’t back off from me quite as quickly. I could see almost nothing, but still tried to find something to focus on. His hands dropped from my shoulders and mine fell back to my sides. I straightened my posture and pulled down my dress. It’d seemed to have ridden up in all the frolic of this half-minute exercise in resilience.

“Yes?” he said, with a slight question mark at the end. It was 10:30, and she should’ve been on her third dream by now.

“I’m scared, Daddy. I think I heard something. Where are you?” She sounded not too far away.

“I’m here, sweetie. There’s nothing to be scared about. I’ll be right there. Go back to your room and I’ll come tuck you back in.
