"Daddy?" I heard a quiet voice. The word sounded so foreign that I didn't recognise the voice. I then heard a soft sigh, and I felt her small figure secure itself tighter into my hold. It was as if she never wanted me to let her go.
Leilani gently poked my shoulder, and slowly, I drifted my eyelids open. I took a moment to blink away the ache of the constrasting morning, before looking down onto Eila's head.
"Hi there, kid." She jumped slightly, not expecting to hear my voice. In the process, her cranium bashed up on my chin, sending a jolt through my jaw. She leaped up with fearful eyes.
"I-I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to call you the wrong name or hurt you! Please don't-"
"Eila," I interjected calmly, "It's okay. Remember that promise? Well, I'm making another one."
I set out my little finger and watched Leilani reluctantly slip hers into the light grip of mine.
"I promise not to break our previous promise, or let anybody else hurt you." I smiled slightly and reassuringly. Her frame visibly untensed, as if finally sure she could trust me. That's what I wanted. Even if she could never fully trust anyone else, I wanted her having something I never did; atleast someone to rely on.
"And for the record," I chuckled as I stretched my arms out and stood, "Your name for me is entirely your choice. However, I hear breakfast calling our names, so let's be off."
And with that, we travelled into the kitchen and set to work, but eventually, I gave up on burning things and simply supervised Eila.
