Saffron
While Rose washed Anis, I sighed. I'd forgotten our wedding anniversary. Caring for our daughter came first, but I didn't want to make it into a habit. I already had several bad habits, like not eating when I had to. I didn't want forgetfulness to be added to that list.
Rose hummed a soft tune while bathing Anis.
I smiled and made a mental note to make it up to her. Our relationship was the cornerstone of our family, and I needed to show her how much she meant to me. I wanted to make her feel loved and appreciated, just as she deserved. I didn't want her to think I didn't.
Once Anis was clean and dressed in a fresh outfit, Rose handed her to me with a warm smile. "Your turn, Daddy," she said playfully.
I took Anis into my arms, feeling her tiny fingers wrap around mine. Her innocent gaze met mine, and for a moment, all my worries melted away. She was the light of our lives, a reminder of the love and joy we shared.
