“But, dad…”“NOW, Cathal!” I don’t want him to see her like this. I don’t want anyone to see her like this.“Yes, dad,” he mumbles and after glancing at Ayda he leaves the room, closing the door. The moment he’s gone, she falls to her knees.“Ayda,” I say, worried that she’ll cut herself, but also w
I lean in and press my lips to hers. When I pull back, she’s looking at me curiously again.“Cathal said you wanted to kiss me more.”“I do. I want to kiss you a lot. Do you like my kisses?”She nods, a very small smile on her face. It’s a win and I’ll take it.“You can kiss me back, you know. I’d l
