Skin ~ Sabrina Carpenter

"Lorenzo?" She gasped quietly as she inspected me, clearly surprised by how much I had evolved and changed physically.

I had been skinny three months ago from Jenna's drugs, but now I was lean, buffer and extremely muscular, all the skin blemishes faded and my hair growth visibly improved.

She had shed some weight and had become her old self physically. Her slim but model body was accentuated by the white dress she was wearing and her hair had been trimmed with a fringe at the front that suited her so much. Her clear skin glowed under the LED lights and she had no makeup on.

"Where's my daughter?" I said in a cold tone, concealing all my emotions from her. I was far too hurt to say 'our daughter'.

"She-She's in the living room," Sophia said in a small voice, clearly taken aback by my distant behavior.

I unapologetically stormed past her into the living room, smiling widely the moment I spotted Alora sitting on the couch with some toys. My beautiful little girl. She was actually here.

She turned her head before screaming and squealing loudly upon seeing me, her tiny arms outstretched towards me and I didn't waste time in carrying her into my arms and holding her tightly against my body. She still remembered her father. The thought alone cause my eyes to become glassy.

Just hearing her giggle lightly brought an undeniable sense of joy and the tears that flooded my eyes made me realize just how much I had missed her.

"Da-Da!" She squealed when I held her at arms length, admiring my creation as she revealed her tiny growing teeth.

"I've missed you so much Alora, Daddy is here now. I love you so much," I stroked her cheek softly before holding her against my chest again, unable to let her go as her tiny hands fisted my t-shirt.

The warmth I had craved and lacked for three whole months was finally restored and I wasn't going to let my daughter slip through my fingers again. Ever.

"What a beautiful sight. Father and daughter," I heard Christine say as I finally looked at them.

I purposely avoided Sophia's gaze and smiled at Steven and the boys, who had all gathered to see the daughter I had always told them about.

"It feels good to have her back, doesn't it Alora?" I glanced at the innocent soul that played with my large hand that she found fascinating everytime.

"Da-da, wu-wuv y-ou," her sweet tiny voice made everyone in the room coo at her attempt to tell me that she loved me. Sophia had taught her well, I had to give her credit for that.

"Aw, I love you too Alora." I kissed her forehead gently and like the old times, she pulled my cheeks and giggled mischievously. It took my tickles to make her let go and then I placed her back on the couch.
