"Mummy, mummy!" A soft voice called out for me on the front door. A huge smile suddenly tugged on my lips as I turned my head towards the source.

"Summer!" I called out for her name as she engulfed me into a warm squishy hug. I laugh at her as she pulled away from me "I've got something to show you!" She says excitedly clapping her hands.

"What is it angel?" I poke her cute little nose as she giggled.

"It's my drawing!" She says as she took out a piece of paper from her backpack and showed it right towards me "This is my drawing mummy, isn't it great?"

She asked with anticipation.

I studied the picture for a minute. It was a little girl holding a bigger person's hand with smiles on their faces "Who did you draw love?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Me and my daddy!" She said with a smile.

I felt my heart sunk to my stomach. She draw her and her daddy holding each other's hands.. He never even met her and she drew him. What am i supposed to say?

"Mum didn't you promise me to answer my question when i get back home?" She suddenly say snapping me out of my thoughts "Mum?" Her crystal blue eyes looked right towards my brown ones pleading for an answer.

"Summer, honey, you know you're daddy isn't here right?" I asked softly.

"Uh-huh"

"And, you know he's probably not coming back?" I say cautiously.

She looked down on the floor and before I could even say something to cheer her up, she looked back at me and pointed at the drawing "But, I think my daddy looks like this!"

I examined her drawing and looked at it a little bit closer. Brown hair and blue eyes. My eyes widen in surprise, how could she possibly know how he looks like? She's still a kid. Suddenly memories from awhile ago from the coffee shop flashed right back in my head. Deep blue eyes. I shake my head as a thought came from my mind. Impossible.

"Mummy, guess what?!" She suddenly beamed excitedly.

"What?" I asked ruffling her hair.

"Ashley told me about this really cool band called One Direction, they're super famous mum and one of them lives from Doncaster, he's 21 and" Summer started to blabber again. Ashley is one of her best friends from school "He's the shortest in the band because he's 5'9 and he has brown hair and blue eyes just like daddy" she says with a smile "just like me" I heard her mutter under her breath.

I smiled warmly at her "How does Ashley know all of this?" I asked quite amusingly.

"She's a big fan of them, she even declares herself as a self proclaimed mofo, she listens to all of their songs, her favorite album is the Take Me Home album and they're actually here in Doncaster taking a break and maybe we can see all of them they're actually having a concert on Saturday for a charity event and Ashley invited me to come!" She exclaimed excitedly.

I laugh at her silliness "Honey, you know we can't afford those kind of things" I say softly.

She pouted "But Ashley's parents are already buying the tickets for us"

"I don't know honey, you're still 5" I say as i tried to think all the negativities about the concert "And concert's are too loud"

"Please mummy!" She pleaded as she gave me one of those looks again. Oh no, i'm not falling for that. But those sweet puppy dog eyes that makes her eyes shimmer in the starlight made me want to say yes.
