Caroline was surrounded by her friends at her 18th birthday party at her Mother's house. Every once in awhile she would look around for her Father. He promised to come to her party. Afterward she would go with him to his place. She hadn't told her Mother that she was going to stay with him while her Mother and her stepfather went away for the summer. She would tell them once she spoke with her Father about it.
Suddenly she heard his deep voice just behind her, "Hey babygirl". She jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Daddy, I knew you would come." She kissed him on the lips and than whispered, "Daddy can I go live with you when Mom and Bill go away for the summer." She looked pleadingly into his eyes.
