266: FIRM ON IT

LUKE’S POV

Mommy had to go out for a little while, but she’ll be back soon,” I said, gently wiping the sleep

from Janice’s eyes.

Janice pouted, “I miss her already.”

“I know, but she’ll be back before you know it,” I reassured her, kissing her forehead.

Janice yawned again and rubbed her eyes. “Did I sleep well, Daddy?” she asked, looking up at me

with her big, innocent eyes.

“I’m sure you did, sweetheart,” I replied, brushing her hair out of her face.

“I had a dream,” Janice said.

“Oh really? What was it about?” I asked, curious to hear her dream.

“Mermaids flying in the air,” she said, her face beaming with joy. “They were all so pretty, and they made the sky really bright.”

“That sounds like a beautiful dream.”

Ethan chimed in, “But mermaids can’t fly in the air, Janice. It’s impossible.”

“It was just a dream, Ethan,” Randy told him, rolling his eyes at his brother.

I wrapped my arm around Janice’s neck, pulling her closer to me. “Well, in your dreams, anything is possible.” I winked at her forthwith.

“Really, Daddy?” Janice asked, and her eyes widened with excitement.

“Absolutely,” I replied, smiling down at her. “Now, do you want to come and play with us?”

Janice hesitated. “But I’m not good at video games, daddy.”

“That’s okay, Janice. We’ll teach you.” I stood up and offered her my hand.
