My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show? 152. Elijah to the rescue
~Third Person POVSnow sat upright, her face brightening when she recognized him. “Elijah!” she exclaimed, jumping off the bench and running towards him as though she had done nothing wrong.Elijah crouched and caught her by the shoulders, checking her face and arms as though he expected to find her hurt.“Where have you been? I told you to stay in the playground!” he scolded, his voice carrying the worry he had been trying to suppress since discovering that she was missing.Snow blinked up at him, seemingly confused by his reaction. “But I was playing.”“You were supposed to stay where I left you,” he reminded her, brushing a hand over her curls as he made sure she was unharmed. “I have been looking everywhere for you.”“I know, but I saw Uncle Kieran!” she explained, pointing towards the man seated on the bench.Elijah’s expression changed as he looked past Snow towards Zane.For a moment, neither man spoke, and the tension between them was noticeable even to someone who didn’t unde

~Third Person POV~Zane froze, his entire body going still as he stared at the little girl beside him.For several seconds, he couldn’t bring himself to speak.He could hear the children playing in the distance, the faint sounds of traffic beyond the shopping complex, and the rustling of leaves above their heads, yet everything seemed to fade into the background as Snow’s words repeated themselves in his mind.My hair is white, just like yours.He looked at her again, but this time he wasn’t seeing only the cheerful child who had dragged him around the playground.He was seeing the features he’d noticed at the memorial, the grey eyes that looked so much like his own, and the red hair that reminded him of Kiara.He had noticed the resemblance two weeks ago and wondered about it before dismissing the thought because he had no evidence to support it.But Snow had just told him that beneath the red colour her mother applied, her natural hair was white.Just like his.His fingers tightened

~Third Person POV~He tried to make the question sound casual, although he knew there was nothing casual about his curiosity whenever her name came up.Snow’s face brightened immediately, and she sat up straighter as though she had been waiting for him to ask about the most important person in her life. “Mummy is the best! She makes the best pancakes, and she sings for me when I’m sleeping. Sometimes she dances with me in the sitting room, but she says I mustn’t tell anybody because she’s not a good dancer.”Zane smiled despite himself, finding it surprisingly easy to imagine Kiara doing all those things.He could picture her laughing with Snow, holding her close, and allowing herself to forget about the world for a few precious moments.The image stirred something painful inside him because it reminded him of everything he had missed and everything he might never have the chance to experience.The thought unsettled him, and he pushed it away before it could take hold.Besides, he wa

~Third Person POV~Snow decided that the swings were the best place to begin. She climbed onto one and waited expectantly while Zane positioned himself behind her, looking down at the little girl who seemed determined to make him forget every responsibility he had waiting for him.“Push me!” she demanded, gripping the chains with both hands.Zane placed his hands against the back of the swing and gave her a gentle push, watching as she moved forward with a delighted squeal before swinging back towards him.“Higher!” she called, turning her head to look at him. “I want to go higher!”“You’ve already said that,” he reminded her, giving the swing another push. “And I would prefer that you remain on it instead of flying into the next state.”Snow burst into laughter, apparently finding the idea of flying into another state far more entertaining than frightening. “You’re funny, Uncle Kieran!” she exclaimed, kicking her little legs as the swing carried her forward again.Zane paused at the

~Third Person POV~The man turned at the sound of the name.For a moment, he looked confused, as though he couldn’t understand why a little girl he barely knew was calling out to him so enthusiastically.Then his gaze settled on her red curls and familiar grey eyes, and recognition slowly appeared on his face.Snow ran towards him. “It’s you!”Zane stared at the little girl rushing towards him, momentarily taken aback by her enthusiasm.He hadn’t expected to see her again.After visiting Kiara’s grandmother’s memorial two weeks earlier, he had returned to his usual responsibilities.His company had demanded his attention, and the complications surrounding his engagement and Chloe’s pregnancy had left him with little time to think about anything else.Still, he hadn’t forgotten the little girl who had approached him at the memorial.He remembered her beautiful grey eyes and her unsettling resemblance between her and Kiara.And now she was standing in front of him, looking as though she

~Third person POV~Two weeks had passed since the handsome man with the silver hair had visited then Thorne’s house and left without speaking to Mummy.Snow still remembered him.She remembered the teddy bear he had given her, too. It was soft, and perfect for cuddling at night, and she had decided that anyone who gave her such a lovely gift had to be a good person.She had even told her uncle, Elijah that she wanted to see the man again so she could show him how well she was taking care of his present.Elijah had laughed and promised that perhaps they would see him another day, but he hadn’t seemed particularly interested in discussing the matter.Snow had eventually forgotten about it when other things caught her attention, although she still thought about the man whenever she hugged her teddy bear before going to sleep.That afternoon, she was excited to be going out with Mummy and Elijah.They were visiting a shopping complex where Mummy needed to pick up a few things for the phys
