Heartache
Mia had a long dream. She dreamt about when she was younger. Joe Lucas had just returned from a business trip. Unfortunately or fortunately, she was the only one at home. Linda and Mary had gone shopping for Mary's outfit to wear during her recital in school.
"How is my little princess?" Joe asked as he lifted her from the floor into his arms and hugged her. She giggled and hugged his neck tighter.
She had come to realise that he treated her better when the other two women were not around so she always tried her best to enjoy the attention to the fullest.
"Welcome back daddy." She said.
"I heard your mother and sister are not in."
She nodded affirmatively.
"I got you something. You must not show the others okay?" He whispered mischievously.
She nodded again.
She took note of the large envelope he dropped on the table when he entered. He picked it up and handed it over to her.
