“How are you doing?” he asked.
She snorted. “Is it weird that I can’t feel my legs?”
He chuckled. “No, it just means I did a good job loving you.”
Emily looked at him over her shoulder. “You always do, Daddy.”
He pressed a kiss to her mouth. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“You’re stuck with me forever, baby.”
“I couldn’t think of a better place I’d rather be. You even beat out Disney World.”
“Wow, I’m honored,” he muttered, making her laugh. “I promise you’ll never be alone again, and I’ll keep you safe.”
“I know. That’s why I’m able to smile and laugh again. I wouldn’t be able to do that without you.”
He pressed a kiss to her forehead and cuddled her against him. He owed Darian a bottle of the good scotch he loved for bringing her into his life. Hell, he owed him a thousand bottles.
Grey grinned before he closed his eyes and slept.
