Stability had healed.She rarely asked about Marcus anymore.When she did, I answered honestly. Simply."Dada lives in Boston. He's working. He'll visit someday.""Okay, mama."And she'd move on.

Pregnant By My Ex-Boyfriend's Father CHAPTER 152: First Month
July passed slowly. Painfully.Every day, Evie asked for Marcus. Every day, I explained."Dada's in Boston. Working. He'll call tonight."Every night, they FaceTimed. Evie's face lit up seeing him."Dada! I miss you!""I miss you too, baby girl! What did you do today?"Simple conversations. Toddler updates. Temporary connection.Then the call ended. And she cried.Every single night. She cried when he hung up."I want dada HERE. Not on the computer."I couldn't fix it. Couldn't give her what she needed.Just held her. Comforted her. Repeated the same explanations.Boston. Work. Visit soon.Words that meant nothing to a two-year-old who just wanted her father.---Work was my refuge. Again.One case. Thirty hours.

Too young to understand why.Or how long two years really was.---Breakfast was quiet. Tense.Marcus barely ate. Nervous. Anxious.Evie pushed her food around. Watching him."Dada, can I come to Boston?""Not today, baby girl. But you'll visit. Soon.""When?""In a few weeks. Mama will bring you.""Promise?""Promise."I didn't confirm. Didn't commit.
