By the time my truck stops, it’s been ten minutes since the text came in. I didn’t bother responding to Caterina. I left the staining job to Jake and sped off in my truck.
I stand outside the cabin watching Cat smile at some guy who’s singing the song that Lily insists I play for her over and over again. Lily sways side-to-side while Cat places the Band-Aid on her knee.
She’s fine which I had repeated to myself numerous times on the way over, but I had to see for myself. That and I had to see Caterina for myself.
Lily catches sight of me and a big smile forms on her lips immediately. “Daddy!”
The guy stops singing and Cat turns around to face me. Her eyes widen.
I walk over and sit on the back of the bench behind Lily, placing a kiss to her temple. “You okay, sweetie?”
