She’s a once in a lifetime. And no one like her has ever walked into my shop in the twenty years I’ve been in business, which is probably longer than she’s been alive.?
I’ve yet to see this girl in the flesh, to lean in and smell her hair, to run my calloused digits across her smooth skin. Nothing. But I already know she’s everything.
Girls like her don’t walk in and try to buy handguns, especially with a fake ID, unless they’re in trouble.
And something has come over me, that tells me I have to protect this little one.
Protect her. Keep her safe. Be her…Daddy.
That word, this feeling that I’ve never felt before, has a grip over me so hard I don’t even understand it. It’s like something that’s been buried inside me for a lifetime has finally woken up, been called from a lifetime of hibernation.
For the first time in my life, I know my purpose, and I know exactly who that purpose revolves around. My Destiny. My Little girl.
She came into my world, flipped it completely upside down, and I’ll never be the same without her as mine.
I am her destiny and she is mine.
