In that moment, a quiet guilt seeped into Casper's heart. He felt like he couldn't even measure up to a child. He hugged the little guy tightly. "Brock, you're worried about mommy, right?" "Uh-huh," the little one nodded.

"Well, Mr. Casper will help you find her." He extended his pinky, linking it with Brock's in a promise, "Pinky swear, okay?"

The little guy lit up, his clear eyes sparkling with anticipation, "Mr. Casper, you have to keep your word."

"Of course, buddy. Uncle always keeps his promises," Casper nodded with a smile.

Brock wrapped his arms around Casper's neck, full of affection. "Mr. Casper, you're so nice. I really wish you were my dad."
