A message flew into Tare’s phone. .
“dad is stealing you from me” she smiled after reading the text from Richard’
“no one can steal me away from you” she replied as she closed her eyes after checking on the old man who seemed to have fallen asleep.
Does that mean you’v fallen for me? he replied with similes.
She didn’t want to reply him…she just wanted to close her eyes and think of him instead
Richard stole a glance at his sleeping father and soon to be girlfriend’
They were both sleeping, he closed his eyes in an attempt to sleep too.
