Chapter 9 - Ethan Comforts Six-Year-Old Lily In Private Suite
Upstairs in the private family suite, Ethan sat on the edge of a velvet sofa holding his daughter.
He offered her a warm cup of hot chocolate with miniature marshmallows from the room service tray.
“You were the bravest little girl in the entire world down there today, Lily,” Ethan whispered softly.
Lily sipped the chocolate, her blue eyes looking up at her father with complete trust and relief.
“Are we going to live in our real house now, Daddy? Will the bad lady never come back?” Lily asked.
“We are going home, sweetie, and nobody will ever be allowed to hurt or scare you again,” Ethan promised.
He kissed the top of her blonde pigtails, feeling a massive weight lift off his weary shoulders.
A gentle knock echoed on the mahogany suite door before Detective Miller walked into the room.
