My Dad Please Come 841

Shaun froze for a moment. “Maddy!”

Madeline took off running toward him.

Without hesitation, Shaun reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Tears streamed down Madeline’s cheeks as she buried her face against his chest, choking on her sobs. “Is it really you? I recognized you that day… I knew you were my brother! Why didn’t you tell me who you were?”

That day, Shaun had disguised himself as a cab driver. She had known it was him, but he had denied it.

Shaun held her tighter, unsure if his scarred face would frighten her. Sometimes he wished the person he was back then–the one Halsey and Madeline remembered–could stay frozen in time. He really hoped they would never see his now ruined face.

“Where have you been all these years? Why didn’t you come back? Halsey and I have missed you so much! Didn’t you miss us at all?” Madeline sobbed uncontrollably.

Shaun rocked her gently. “I think about you both every day. I miss you more than you know.”

Their parents were gone now. In this world, he only had Halsey and Madeline left.

One was the woman he loved, the other his flesh and blood. Those were two people he could never let go of, no matter what.
