Abby shrieked!

I rolled off the recliner I’d been sleeping on, grabbed the lighter I’d stuck in my shirt pocket, and flicked it to life. She was sitting straight up, clutching a blanket to her neck.

“Bad dream?” I asked.

She shuddered. “Sorry, Daddy,” she said. “I guess…I guess it was about vampires.”

I sat next to her and gathered her up in a hug, then lifted her to my lap. “It’s okay, hon,” I told her. We sat like that for a while.

“Daddy? Will you sleep on the bed with me?”

“What? Don’t you like me anymore? How come you want to beat me up?”

She giggled. “I just want to cuddle.”

“Uh huh.” I’d been kidding, but she really did whirl, kick, and flop her arms around when she slept. But I figured we didn’t have anywhere we needed to be tomorrow, so what the heck. We (or at least I) could sleep late.

“Sure,” I told her. “We can do that. If you promise this isn’t a trap.”

She giggled, then waited until we were settled and I was almost asleep to ask if we could light the lamp again, and leave it burning.

Yep. Still my daughter.

I slept very well.
