Chapter 12

Trying to win over his daughter was turning out to be a lot more difficult than Lucas had expected. However, her reluctance to see him and lack of interest in spending time with him didn’t quench the desire he had to see her and connect. Her apathy only made him want it more.

Whenever he saw her, he experienced so many emotions. Wonder, at this little person who carried his blood in her veins. Disbelief, that he’d been kept in the dark for so long. And a deep affection that overwhelmed him as he examined her face and heard her voice, knowing she derived half her genetic makeup from him.

Resentment, an uglier emotion, also infiltrated his thoughts. Another man, an imposter, had filled the position of father for years and quite well, apparently. So well, Katie didn’t want anyone else in his place. While Lucas had been cheated out of all the important milestones in his daughter’s life, Winston had experienced them all. Her first words, her first steps, and her first day of school.

After several visits trying to win over Katie, Lucas was at a loss. She hadn’t warmed up to him anymore than before. She treated him like a stranger and sat quietly while he talked about his life in Atlanta and what he did for a living. When he asked her about school and her family, her monosyllabic answers made it clear she’d rather be anywhere else doing anything else but sitting with him.

Finally, though, he had an idea, one he hoped would break the ice between them.
