NINA WRESTLED WITH SLEEP, the images of the doll wrapped in Peyton’s baby blanket haunting her.

She pulled the covers to her chin, hating the silence. But knowing Slade was downstairs made her feel safer.

Don’t get used to it, she reminded herself. When you find your daughter, he’ll leave and you’ll be alone again.

No, she wouldn’t. She’d have her little girl, and that would be enough.

With that thought on her mind, she finally fell asleep and dreamed that she had Peyton back, and that she’d taken her to the zoo. Peyton’s blond curls bounced around her face as she giggled at the chimpanzees squawking and jumping up and down and chomping on bananas.

The lions’ roar frightened her, and she scrunched close to Nina, and Nina smoothed her hair down and hugged her. Then a crowd gathered by the giraffes and they walked over to join them.

Suddenly Slade appeared, the sunlight gleaming off his strong jaw and rugged body. He smiled at her, then swung Peyton up onto his shoulders so she could see over the crowd.

Peyton clapped her hands and shrieked with glee. “I’m almost as tall as the giraffes,” Peyton said. “Lift me higher, Daddy, and I can eat from the treetops.”

Slade chuckled and pulled Nina next to him, and a warmth enveloped her. She loved her husband and her daughter and finally had the family she’d always wanted.

Then suddenly a dark cloud fell over the crowd, and she looked up and Peyton and Slade were gone. She cried out their names, frantically searching, but she’d lost them….

No, she heard Peyton singing again.

She jerked awake, the sound of her daughter’s voice echoing through the room and sending a blinding pain through her chest.

Her breathing was ragged, and she crawled from the bed, walked to the window and looked up at the moon. “I’m going to find you, baby,” Nina whispered. “I promise. I’ll find you and bring you home and one day we’ll take that trip to the zoo.”

Only Slade wouldn’t be around. Peyton wouldn’t have a daddy.

But she would make up for it by loving her enough for two parents.
