Nice To Meet You

*Ring-Ring-Ring-Ring!*

"Hm? Ah, hold on, guys."

Abaddon put down everything that he was doing and found a place to sit.

Earbuds that were already connected to his phone found their way into his ears and he hurried to pick up the call.

There, he saw a very adorable little face nestled in bed and looking half asleep.

She even had a little bonet on her head.

"You answered…" Courtney rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"Of course I did, sweetheart. I told you that I would answer you no matter what, didn't I? Don't tell me that you thought your old man was a liar."

"No, but Mommy and Stepmom said that you might be too busy…"

Abaddon smiled at her sadly. "I'll never be too busy for you or your siblings. I'll have to scold your mothers when I get home for telling you such a lie."

Courtney sleepily looked to the side before turning her gaze back to her tablet.

"They made weird noises and left the room."
