Opening the door, Amari stepped back so that her father could come into the room.
"Is it just me or did you start locking your door from the inside as soon as you clocked sixteen?" he teased as he moved to sit on her bed.
She didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say.
"Let me guess, does Nathan sneak up into your room through the window late at night and then cuddle you to sleep?" he went on, ending with a chuckle which she couldn't help but echo.
"Oh he had no idea!" were her thoughts as she moved to sit beside him on the bed.
"You know, I used to sneak into your mother's room through the window too, back when we were young teenagers," he revealed and her eyes widened in surprise.
"You and mom were already together when you were teenagers?" Amari asked and her father nodded slowly.
His eyes suddenly became sad but he still managed to wear a smile on his face. Amari reached out to hold his hand and he sighed softly.
