Chapter 1 - The Lady

Marshall's POV:

"Dad, come look!" Hailie yelled walking over to the kitchen island that I was leaned against, drinking a Diet Coke. It was a video on a her iPad.

"Hai, what am I looking at? It's just a video of some lady." A very cute lady might I add... but she looks young, like the same age as Hailie, so I leave it at that.

"No, dad. It's not just some lady. It's Sadé Myers! Do you not know who that is?!"

I just stare at her dumbfounded. How the hell am I supposed to know who the fuck Sasha Myers is? Or whatever her name was.

"Okay, look. She's one of the biggest YouTubers and social influencers right now. She has almost 10 million followers on Instagram and a little over 8 million subscribers on YouTube. But I really could care less about numbers. And most importantly, Sadé is one of the people who has inspired me greatly." She says.

"Well damn, I guess she's a pretty big deal then huh? But why are you showing me her though?" I finally question her.

Because to be honest, I'm still confused on why she's fan-girling right now, but I understand she's a very important woman to her.

"Welllll, I was able to get her to be a guest as a co-host on my podcast!" Hailie says as she does this little jump in the air and squeals from joy. She's still my baby. And I just watch smiling.

"What?! That's great honey! I'm so proud of you, give your old man a hug!" I exclaim, hugging her from the side, feeling really happy for her.

I can see how big of a deal this is for her, and I'm proud. She's grown up into an amazing woman. All my kids have. And that truly makes me the happiest.

"So when is she coming to do the show?" I ask.

"She's actually going to be here tomorrow. She's flying from Chicago to Detroit tonight and will be here for about a week. I can't wait!" She beams a smile.

"Oh cool. I hope you have a great show."

"Thanks dad. For everything really. And all of your support. It truly means a lot to me" She shoots me a smile.

"But I have to get going. I need to prepare the studio tonight so that it can be ready for tomorrow and make sure I have some great topics to discuss. Bye dad, love ya!"

"Love you, be safe sweetie." I reply.

She quickly hugs me. And with that she's gone.

— Later that night

I'm in my studio and am about to call it a night soon. But first I need to go to my office that in my home because I need to send an email to Paul about something.

As I enter the office, I notice that Hailie left her pair of headphones. Normally, I wouldn't care. It's just a pair of headphones and I'm sure she has more or could wait, but it's the ones that she always specifically wears during her podcast hosting. She must've left them here leaving in a hurry. I text her letting her know, and she asks me if I could stop by to drop them off tomorrow at her place. And I oblige. No biggie.

With that, I head to my room, going into the bathroom adjacent and taking a nice hot shower and going to bed.
