Chapter 24 - THE FATHER-DAUGHTER DANCEWhen Maddie was eleven, school held a father-daughter event.
She asked Grant.
Not because everything was healed.
Because she wanted him there.
He came in a suit.
Too formal.
She rolled her eyes.
During the dance, she stepped on his shoe three times.
He laughed.
Then she said:
“You know you’re still not my biological dad.”
He smiled.
“I am painfully aware.”
“Good.”
Then:
“But you’re my dad-dad.”
Grant stopped moving.
Maddie looked embarrassed.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t cry.”
Too late.
She groaned.

“Adults are so dramatic.”
