I was overjoyed when Lily's school announced that they were going to have a daddy-daughter dance. Lily had been looking forward to this event for weeks, and I couldn't wait for her to experience it with her dad, Felix.We went to the mall to shop for a dress for Lily, and it was so heartwarming to see how excited she was as she twirled around in different dresses. I knew Felix would be so proud of his little girl.After we found the perfect dress, we decided to catch a movie while we were at the mall. As we settled into our seats, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over me. Watching Lily and Felix enjoy each other's company was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.During the movie, I noticed Felix wiping away tears during an emotional scene. I smiled to myself, knowing how much he loved his family and how much he cared for Lily. I felt grateful to have him as my partner and the father of my child.As the movie ended, Lily grabbed Felix's hand and pulled

I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as I watched my daughter, Lily, bouncing with excitement in her pink dress, waiting for her dad to arrive for the Daddy-Daughter Dance at her school. I knew how much this moment meant to both of them, and I wanted to capture as many memories as possible.As soon as she saw, Felix, walking towards them, Lily ran towards him, and I snapped a picture of the two of them hugging. I knew that this moment would be cherished for years to come.The event was beautifully decorated with balloons, streamers, and fairy lights. I watched as Lily and Felix danced together, twirling and laughing as they moved to the music. I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy wash over me as I saw the love between father and daughter.I took as many pictures as I could, capturing each special moment between the two of them. I knew that these memories would be treasured forever, and I wanted to make sure that I had captured every single moment.As the night came to an end,

Red's eyes widened in surprise, and I felt a pang of fear in my chest. What if I had just ruined our friendship forever?As the silence stretched between us, Red's expression softened, and he reached out to take my hand. "Max, you could never ruin our friendship," he said, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze. "I'm just surprised. I never would have guessed that you felt that way about me."I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment, but I met Red's gaze steadily. "I know it's unexpected, and I don't want to make things weird between us. I just had to be honest with you about how I feel."Red nodded thoughtfully. "I appreciate your honesty, Max. I care about you a lot, too, but I need some time to think about what this means for us."I tried to keep the disappointment from showing on my face, but Red must have seen it. He leaned closer to me and cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing lightly over my skin. "Hey, it's not a no," he said softly. "I just need to process this."I felt a glimmer

I lay in the hospital bed, my body aching and my heart heavy with grief. The doctors had confirmed what I already knew: I had suffered a miscarriage. The baby I had been carrying for the past few months was gone.Tears streamed down my face as I tried to process the loss. I couldn't help but wonder what could have been. Would it have been a boy or a girl? What would their life have been like with a second child? The questions were endless, and the pain was unbearable."Mommy," Lily hugged me, and I cried again, "you'll be okay, mom, I'm here," she said."Yes, baby. I'll be okay too," I smiled at her. I had just finished crying when I heard a knock on the door. To my surprise, it was Red, holding a basket full of fruits."Hey, Iris. I brought you some fruits," he said with a gentle smile.My heart swelled with gratitude for his kindness. At that moment, I realized how lucky I was to have people like my friends in my life."Thank you so much, Red. This means a lot to me," I said, feeli

As I noticed Felix's behavior after my miscarriage, I couldn't help but feel concerned. I noticed that he was always coming home late and seemed to be preoccupied with work even when he was at home. I knew that he was a busy man, but this was different. I could tell that something was bothering him, but I didn't know what it was.I had always relied on Felix for emotional support, especially during their difficult times. I felt that he was distant from her now, and I didn't know how to bridge the gap between us. I missed his presence and felt lonely without him. I wondered if he was struggling with his own grief, but didn't know how to ask him about it.Despite my own pain, I couldn't help but worry about Felix. I wanted to be there for him but didn't know how to reach out. I felt a sense of helplessness as if I had lost the connection we once had. I wished I could understand what was going on in his mind, but felt like I was left in the dark.As the days went by, I tried to be patien
