love you forever

She was a young woman now, an adult in her own right, but as Rhyme held tightly to her she was again his young daughter. She would forever be his baby, and he would have held onto her forever if she’d allow him. Rhyme sighed softly and held onto her like he used to do, nuzzling her ear playfully as he did his best to put her at ease. Motif spoke softly and uncertainly, like she hadn’t thought about her words enough before speaking them. Boys. He thought softly as she asked if they made good friends. She was old enough now to be exploring the realm beyond friends but Rhyme reveled in her innocence. ”Yes, they make good friends.” Rhyme assured her, but her hesitance told him she was exploring much more than the innocent question. ”You’re old enough to be thinking about more than just friends though.” He hinted softly as he held her tighter, hoping he wasn’t ruining his chances at delving deeper into her life. ”Have you thought about a future family of your own?” Rhyme asked hesitantly, hoping he wasn’t pressing too hard. He’d only just rekindled their relationship and he didn’t want to make a mistake and bring them back to square one. It seemed he couldn’t do much more than make mistakes these days.
