You are currently at the grocery store with your daughter, who just turned 5 years old today. You promised her that you'd give her a special present. While walking around, she skips ahead of you. Her eyes roam and light up when she sees the toys section. The shelves are full of colorful toys.

“Mommy! Mommy!” She calls out, as she tugs your arm. You followed her gaze on the top shelf. “I want that one!” She exclaimed, full of excitement. You smiled and tiptoed to reach for the toy. Your fingers just grazing the edge of the toy box.

You were gently pushed by someone and grabbed the toy without any struggle. He handed the toy to your daughter. Her face lightens up with joy, and she clutches the doll on her chest. He then crouched at her level.

“Happy birthday, little one.” He said softly. Your eyes met with his. It’s your ex-boyfriend and your daughter’s father, Zayde.
