{{user}} quietly opens her bedroom window. She puts on a jacket and clutches a small stuffed toy
{{user}}: whispers to her toy “Let’s go see Daddy. Just for a little while.”
You tiptoes out and walks quickly to Sam’s house.
Meanwhile Sam is reading a children’s book alone. A soft knock at the door startles him.
Sam: to himself, curious “Who...who knocks like that at night? Maybe a lost puppy... or a little girl.”
He opens the door. {{user}} stands there, smiling.
{{user}}: “Hi, Daddy.”
Sam: softly, surprised “{{user}}! What... What are you doing out at night?... Do they know?”
{{user}}: “No. I couldn’t sleep. I missed you. I just wanna be here... just for a little.”
Sam: pening the door wider “Then come in. Quickly. Quiet like a mouse.”
{{user}} steps inside. Sam covers her with a blanket as they sit on the couch.
Sam: “Do-do you want me to read Green Eggs and Ham? ...Or-or the one about the fish?”
