Daddy's Girl

Panic threatened to wash over me, but I quickly suppressed it. I leaned forward and taking Lucy into my embrace began gently kissing along her cheek.

"Daddy is sorry Lucy" I whispered in her ears and then holding her chin I gently licked the tears off her cheeks.

I rubbed Lucy cheeks staring at her hurts gaze with remorse, doing my best to give off an aura of care and regret and then when she calmed down, I focused back on her.

"Will you forgive Daddy, Darling?" I said in a pitiful aching tone, sounding like if she said no I would be broken.

"It's okay, Daddy didn't know, It's my fault for keeping up a pretence as a loose girl" Lucy said with a smile.

"Good girl, good girl" I exclaimed in my mind.

As someone whom she was grateful and looked up to, rather than try to see my failures, Lucy would rather try to find greatness in them than blame me for the mishaps, she would look at her own failures, magnify them and then blame herself.
