I feel a surge of heat rush through me at the sight of her.<\/p>\n
Jewel, her name tag reads.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a reason I come here every day, making sure there are no other little boys her age looking at my Jewel. Making sure everyone around here knows who she belongs to.<\/p>\n
Even if I\u2019m too old for her, and forty-one is way too old for an eighteen-year old, as I keep reminding myself, I still need to be here. To protect her. To watch over her. To be here just in case.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s the light to my darkness, the smile that can give my scowl balance, and more accurately wipe it from my face forever.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t care if she deserves better than me, it\u2019s me she\u2019s going to get. No other is ever going to lay a hand on her. No one will take her from me.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s my little Jewel and I\u2019m her Daddy.
