“So step back.”
“I can’t.”
I looked him in the eye and whispered,
“What are you hiding from me?”
Daniel's pale. For a moment, I thought he'd confess everything to me. But he took Emma on his hand and took her to the bathroom.
This time he closed the door from the inside.
After a few moments, my daughter started crying.
“It hurts, Dad...”
And then I heard Daniel's voice:
“I know, honey. Hold on a little longer. Mom can’t find out yet.”
My heart almost stopped beating.
