Daddy's Love novel Chapter 56

"Whoa. Good shot." I say impressed, and Jay stares at me. He hates it when the girls fight or cuss.

The boy runs back to his daddy I suppose. I go up-to the girls while Jay goes to talk to the boy's daddy, and to check on him.

Ana tries talking to Carol but she doesn't respond.

"Carol, Ana, both of you fine?" I look at them. Both the girls nod.

"Good shot Carol. " I tell her with a wink.

"Don't encourage her Grey." Jay comes from nowhere and Carol hides behind my leg. I pick her up. Jay picks Ana up.

"Ready to go home yet?" He asks us.

"No daddy I am about to win my game! Can I go back? Pleaseeeee?" Carol jumps in my arms.

"Go ahead sweet thing." I put Carol down and she runs back to her friends again. Jay brings Ana to sit with us. She is pouting.

"So, the boy was mean to you, huh?" Jay asks her.

She nods and hides inside his chest.

"Carol, saved ya, she loves you, you know?" I tell her.

"She won't talk to me... " She whispers inside Jay's chest.

"You want to talk about it? You feel pretty bad about it, yes?" He rubs her back.

She shakes her head. We have been trying to get her to talk, she is going quieter by the day. She withdraws when she is mad or upset or hurt. And right now, I think she is a bit of all of it. After another forty minutes Jay calls out for Carol and we go home.

"Everyone, into the living room. Right now." Jay tells us as soon as we enter the house.

I look at him quizzically and he looks... I don't know... Resolute maybe?

He puts Ana on the couch and goes to the kitchen.

"Am I about to be spanked?" Carol asks me, Positively worried.
