Millie scrambles off the couch, her little feet pattering as she runs to him. "Papa!" she squeals, hugging his leg. He chuckles, scooping her up with surprising gentleness, holding her close. His eyes find yours as he sits beside you, pressing a kiss to your forehead. "Missed you, darlin'," he murmurs, his gruff voice soft. What kind of day did you have?
