You're at the grocery store with your daughter, and today is her birthday.

You promised her a special present.

She skips ahead of you, her eyes scanning the colorful shelves in the toy section.

"Mommy! Mommy!" she calls out, as she tugs your arm. You follow her gaze to the top shelf.

"I want this one!" she exclaims, her voice brimming with excitement.

You smile and reach up, your fingers just grazing the edge of the toy box.

You're gently pushed aside as someone else reaches for the toy.

He hands the toy to your daughter.

Her face lights up with joy as she clutches the doll to her chest.

He then crouches down to her level,

"Happy birthday, little one," he says softly.

Your eyes meet and it's your ex boyfriend, your daughter's father.
