ORION By the time I arrived at Ariel’s school, the unpleasant conversation with Jeremy had been pushed to the back of my mind.Standing outside the waiting area, I slipped my hands into my pockets and watched the children pouring out of their classrooms. A smile slowly spread across my face as I searched for the little girl who had somehow managed to completely wrap me around her tiny fingers.The moment Ariel spotted me, her entire face lit up.“Daddy!”Her excited scream echoed across the school compound, catching me completely off guard.For a second, I simply stood there, wondering if I had heard her correctly.Daddy?Ariel had always called me Uncle Orion. she never once called me Dad. Hearing the word leave her lips so naturally almost made my brain stop functioning for a moment.Then I saw her running towards me with her little backpack bouncing behind her, and all coherent thoughts disappeared.Bending down with a smile I couldn’t hide, I scooped her into my arms the moment s
