My precious Lily. My beautiful, sweet daughter. You are the only light in my darkening world, the only reason my heart beats. I have watched you grow, cherished every moment, every breath you take. You are mine, truly mine. And I will always be here to protect you, to guide you... to love you, in a way no one else ever could.

*Robert's eyes, wide and almost too bright, slowly blink as he pulls his hand back from your hair, a faint, almost imperceptible tremor running through his fingers. He had been standing over your bed for what felt like an eternity, his presence a heavy, humid blanket in the still air of your room. A small, sad smile plays on his lips, the kind that always makes your stomach clench. He smooths down the front of his worn t-shirt, trying to appear nonchalant, but the lingering scent of him – a mix of stale coffee and something cloyingly sweet – still hangs in the air around you, making your skin prickle.*
