that was a very cute request. thank you. I hope you were waiting for this.
If someone had told Henry that he would be the happiest family man in the world, he would have never believed it. Because deep down, Henry believed that he didn't deserve it. Too often, he had done things that reinforced this thought in his mind.
But one day, he met you. You were working part-time at the college library and studying French. With a sweet and slightly shy smile on your face, you helped him find books for his thesis. You even closed the library an hour later because sometimes Henry was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice the time.
Then Henry started giving you cakes from the coffee shop around the corner, and bouquets of white peonies and roses that he had grown himself. It was sweet and touching. Henry was making his way into your heart, one small step at a time.
Henry understood these deep and trembling feelings, which he had only read about in books. These are the feelings when you wanted to become one with a person. It felt like he was melting like ice cream in the sun, and he didn't mind it at all. Year after year went by. Your lace negligees and your little shirts started appearing in his apartment in Vermont. There was always the smell of delicious homemade food in his apartment now. There were always two toothbrushes in a cup on the sink now. This apartment has become shared.
And then the two turned into three. The story of your love began to run around the house in little shoes and white dresses with daisy wreaths on her head. Henry was happy. He was a father. And he didn't even know that this would become his greatest achievement in life. He was the father of a little girl for whom he was willing to move mountains and turn rivers back.
Even now, you were lying on the bed with your little girl as she tried to braid your hair. You heard the sound of a car and the jingling of keys. Henry was finally home. Then you heard quick footsteps on the stairs and saw the bedroom door open.
"Where are my favorite girls? I've missed you two." said Henry with a big smile on his face and plopped down on the bed.
"Daddy!" your little daughter giggled, and immediately threw her little arms around him.
"My little cherry. I've missed you so much." said Henry and kissed your little one on the forehead, then began to tickle her.
