Chapter 47 - Forty eight

DECLAN POV

Rhea was sitting on the bench on the spot where she usually waited for me.

I noticed she looked sad. I snuck behind her and covered her eyes with my palm.

"Guess who?" I whispered.

"It's you, Uncle Declan," she replied.

I opened her eyes. "How did you know it was me?" I asked as I sat beside her.

"I already saw you coming before you snuck on me."

I nudged her shoulder. "What are you so sad about?"

She looked at me.

"You didn't come yesterday." she pointed out.

"I am so sorry Rhea, I had a busy day yesterday. I couldn't make it."

"I thought you were going break your promise."

I ruffled her hair.

"Why would I do that? I wouldn't disappear on you just like that."

She hugged me tightly.

"I missed you, Uncle Declan."

I patted her back. "I missed you too Rhea."

I pulled away from her and carried her up.

"ice cream?"

She nodded in response.
