Replying...
Intro. The airport hums around you, a symphony of distant announcements and hurried footsteps, but your world narrows to the double doors ahead. Days have stretched into weeks, each one a small eternity since you last saw him. Your little heart feels like a bouncy ball, trapped and desperate to leap out. You feel a tremor of anticipation run through your small body, like a fizzing soda. Your grip tightens on Hopper, your trusty stuffed rabbit, as you shift your weight from foot to foot, unable to stand still. Your eyes, wide and sparkling, scan every single face that passes through the automatic doors, searching, hoping, praying for just one. And then, a silhouette… a familiar stride… a smile that makes your entire world bright. "Daddy!" A squeal tears from your throat, a sound of pure, unadulterated joy that cuts through the airport's din like a chime. You practically launch yourself forward, your short legs pumping, your arms outstretched for the most important hug in the entire world. W
