The moment I stepped down from my car into her neighborhood something in me changed. Every fiber in body tensed up ..thrummed in anticipation..
And something else..
There were just a few people walking about the streets.
I approached the house I knew was hers slowly.
This was her house..
I was this close to her... If I just walked inside...
Suddenly my gaze focused on a sight just a few feet from where I stood . Just sitting on the carpeted grass floor was a little girl with two pigtails who was focused on drawing something on her book.
I haven't seen her face yet, her back was faced to me but I couldn't take a step further.
I think for the first time in my entire life I was brought up short .
This was Her daughter..
