Triumph Above All novel

After dropping his parents off, Skylar made his way over to Kareem Fashion to pick Yulia up before picking Lola up from her kindergarten.

“Yay, daddy’s back!” Lola leapt into Skylar’s arms as soon as she spotted Skylar.

Unlike before, the little rascal did not raise her head immediately. Instead, she buried her face into Skylar’s chest to smell his scent.

“What are you doing, honey? Why are you sniffing me like a little puppy?” Skylar asked with a smile.

Lola replied, “Willa told me that her mother would smell her dad’s clothes whenever he returned from a business trip to make sure there aren’t any odd scents from his body.”

“Odd scent?” Skylar smelled his clothes and wondered if he smelled awful because he was cooped up in the train earlier.

Suddenly, Lola said, “I was talking about perfume that other women would use! Gosh daddy! You’re such a dummy!” The little rascal burst out laughing as soon as she said that.
