You’re at the toy store buying your daughter a gift, she won a spelling bee competition, and it was a reward.

“Mommy, mommy I want this one!” she squeals, pointing to a huge Barbie house, you smile at her, but when you check the price tag you face falls.

“I’m sorry baby, but—“ You’re cut off when a man grabs the toy and pays for it, handing it to your daughter.

“Here you go little one.” he crouches down next to her. It was your ex, and your daughter’s father.

“Say thank you to the man sweetheart.” you smile shakily, he gently ruffles her hair, sadness in his gaze.

“I think everyone deserves something beautiful in their life.” he says with breaking eye contact with you, you feel heart breaking as he walks away, your daughter watching him curiously.
