From the very first moment Everett laid eyes on Abigail, she stood out to him like a beacon in the night, and he felt an inexplicable pull towards her.
He had thought it was merely because her eyes reminded him of Dorothy. But as fate would have its twisted dance, it turned out that Abigail was his own flesh and blood.
"Yes, she's our daughter," Dorothy said, sensing the storm of emotions within him and taking his hand in comfort. "Come on, they're all waiting for us."
Everett's gaze rested on the little girl's face, and he nodded slightly.
"Alright."
"Mommy! Mommy, I'm over here!"
Spotting Dorothy, Abigail waved her small arms frantically.
Upon seeing the man next to her mother, Abigail's face fell into a pout.
"Aren't you that... that man?"
The man who took the money from her and didn't bring back any candy!
Langston, ever the unflappable brother, tugged at his sister's sleeve, "He's Dad."
Langston knew his sister was stubborn and decided to let it be.
As Dorothy and Everett approached, Karen greeted them with a smile, "Tired, Dorothy? Did you catch some sleep on the flight?"
"I did, slept the whole way," Dorothy replied with a smile, bending down to embrace her children.
But as she did, pain flashed across her face, and she winced.
Everett quickly took Abigail into his arms, saving Dorothy from the discomfort.
Abigail's big eyes sparkled, "Sir, where's my five dollars?"
Everett had prepared for this moment. He pulled out a hundred-dollar note from his pocket, "Here you go, repaid in full."
