GRACIE
"Mommy! " she cried as her arms tightened around me.
I embracing her tightly, I closed my eyes inhaling her sweet scent of baby powder. I had been so scared for her..
For us..
"Papa " she called again , as he straightened down to her level, his face worked tight with emotions.
"Are you alright princess? " his gaze scanned over her gentle features as he spoke.
She nodded repeatedly but her grip on me didn't lessen a bit.
I blinked back to push back the tears, I felt Hayden's gaze on me , he was concerned about me as well, but I think his has more to do with the way I reacted after I had pulled the knife on Robert.
"That bad guy hurt you mommy ?" Her crying had subsided and became quiet hiccups .
"Nothing happened to me sweetie , the bad men didn't hurt me "
She didn't looked in any way convinced, I guess the bruises on my face wasn't enough for her to believe my words.
