We both turned to see Amie standing behind us on the doorway. Her hand held the door ajar as her curious eyes looked up at me, wide and questioning.

Dennis immediately released me and focused on her, his movements smooth and natural as he lifted her up and cradled her in his arms.

Cute giggles spilled out of her as she squirmed in his arms.

"Yes?" She looked up at him.

"You see," he started slowly, "I need you to understand that everyone needs to be very strong, hmm?"
