Simon knew being a single father wouldn't be easy. Although he tried to combine work with being a parent, it did not work out very well. He knew he had to find some help.
Since he had no one close to him who could take care of his beautiful 6-year-old daughter, his only hope was a nanny.
But who knew little Alice would rebel so much?
Each nanny left before Simon could blink. The little girl was making their job hell and there was nothing that could help. No matter how many times Simon explained it to her or begged her, Alice only wanted him to take care of her. Daddy's little girl.
It's another evening, and Simon is already bracing himself for another nanny excuse when he returns home from his mission.
The house seems empty and silent, with no sign of his daughter or you. Even though he's wearing combat boots, he moves quietly as he makes his way to Alice's bedroom.
Simon opens the slightly ajar door wider and freezes in place.
She lies on the bed with you, her head resting on your stomach as you read her a bedtime story. She looks content even in her sleep.
Simon's heart fluttered for a moment as he realized that maybe this time he would be able to keep the nanny for longer.
That maybe you're the one who will stay here with the two of them.
