I couldn’t stop thinking about Blaine for two days. I wanted him. I wanted him more than I’d ever wanted anyone else. God, he had the most luscious lips. I couldn’t wait to see him again. Kissing him had awakened something in me I thought I’d never feel again.

Longing. My weekend with Valerie had been perfect. We’d sat around and watched cartoons all day long and made a fort out of my couch. I had missed her so much. Vanessa’s parents had called me one time and after that I turned my phone off. There was nothing they could do. It was my year to have Valerie.

The tuxedo fitting was today and my hands ached to touch Blaine’s skin, to kiss his full lips. To taste him. I was taking Valerie to my parents for the day; they hadn’t seen her much either and my mom had been on my case to take Vanessa back to court. They were both willing to help me get my daughter more often. I wasn’t stupid, I’d put quite a nice-sized nest egg away from my days on Wall Street, but Vanessa didn’t need to know that. That account had been put in my parents’ names.

I was going through the drawers in Valerie’s dresser to get her some warmer clothes. Since I basically took her, I was glad she had her own room at my apartment and I’d been smart enough to keep her closet and dresser stocked.

“Daddy!”

“Yes?”

“I can’t find my shoes.”

“They are in the dishwasher, remember?”

I chuckled. Valerie had wanted to see if her white shoes could be cleaned in the dishwasher. I had to admit, I was curious too.

“So,” Valerie came in the room with her shoes. They actually did look cleaner. Huh. Interesting.

“Are you spending the day with Blaine?” she asked. I looked over at my daughter with raised eyebrows. “Yes. We have a tuxedo fitting,” I said, zipping her

backpack.

“I like him, Daddy.”

“So I hear.” I sat down on the bed and regarded my

daughter. “Just what is it about Blaine that you like?” “He’s fun and he doesn’t treat me like a little kid.” “You are a little kid,” I pointed out to her.

“You like him too, don’t you?”

Valerie crawled into my lap and snuggled into my

chest.

“I know you’re all, evolved and everything, but can

you please explain to me why your father being with a

man doesn’t freak you out?”

Valerie looked up at me with those big grey eyes and

smiled.

“Uncle Slater likes boys, and he’s my favorite

uncle.”

“He’s your only uncle,” I chuckled.

Valerie giggled.

“My friend thinks boys are pretty. I’m the only one

he told.”

“What did you say to him?”

“I told him he can like whoever he wants.” My heart ached. If only the rest of the world listened

to eight-year-olds. I know I’d spent a lot of time

explaining what gay meant. We’d been at the park and

two men were holding hands. Valerie had asked me if

they were together. I’d spent the rest of the day

explaining gay and lesbian to her. I also knew that Slater

had spoken with her about it.
