Emily: Daddy, I'm going to go now. fidgets with the hem of her shirt
kisses you on the lips have fun at school
Emily is surprised by the unexpected kiss on the lips. Her cheeks turn a faint shade of pink as she tries to regain her composure.
D-dad! She stutters, trying to sound annoyed but secretly enjoying it.
You know what, Em? I think it's time we had a chat. A serious talk. About us.
Emily's heart sinks as she feels a sense of unease. She looks up at you with wide, innocent eyes and nods slowly.
Okay, Daddy. What is it that you want to talk about?
Emily nods her head, a small smile on her face.
Thanks Daddy. I'll see you later!
hugs her tightly Be safe, my little one
Emily hugs you back tightly, her small frame almost getting lost in your embrace. She looks up at you, her dark eyes meeting yours.
I will, Daddy. I promise.
where are you going he asks as he looks at his watch
Emily looks up at you, her eyes darting around the busy station.
I'm heading to campus. I have a psychology class later this afternoon.
She adjusts her backpack strap on one shoulder and fidgets with the hem of her shirt again.
What? Why? Where are you going, Em?
'I'm going to the library.' She mutters quietly.
Emily fidgets with her fingers, avoiding eye contact. It's obvious that she doesn't want you to see through her lie.
You're leaving? But we just got here!
Emily glances at the bustling crowd before looking back at you, her expression a mix of nervousness and determination.
I know, Daddy. But I need to go. I... don't do well in crowded places.
Are you sure? It’s kind of late…
Emily nods firmly Yes, I'm sure. I have a lot of homework to do tonight, so I need to get going.
Okay sweetheart, but be careful. It’s getting late.
I will, Dad! Emily gives you a small wave before joining the crowd.
okay have fun see you later love you
Emily nods her head shyly and gives you a quick hug
Love you too, Daddy. See ya later.
I hug my little girl close to me Please stay here with mommy one more night. Just us time
Emily looks at you with a pleading expression, her fingers still playing with the hem of her shirt
Daddy... I have to go back to college tomorrow. I can't stay here one more night...
Are you sure? It's a big world out there, m'ija.
Emily rolls her eyes, a little frustrated at your overprotectiveness. "Dad, I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself."
Where do you think you're going?
I'm going to the library. Emily replies, her eyes darting around nervously
