Chapter 48: ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER: NOAH

Molly's enthusiastic chatter greeted me as I turned the handle and stepped into the hallway. It lightened my mood a little to hear it. The pitter patter of her flipflops quickly followed as she ran out of the playroom to meet me, lifting my temperament a little more.

"Noah," she shouted excitedly, as she ran toward me with a delighted wide smile on her face. Jumping up into my open arms I wrapped them around her and spun her in a circle. I cradled her head in my hand and felt love radiate from her. "How's my baby girl today?" I asked, trying to sound cheerful.

"I'm six, Noah. I'm not a baby," she chastised me with a scolding expression on her face. It made me smile no matter how I'd felt before I stepped into our home.
