October 14th

I met him today.

Kelsey’s father.

He has that kind of sadness behind his eyes that people mistake for calm. But I saw it. I always see it. The way he holds his coffee like it’s the only warmth he lets himself have. The quiet, careful way he looked at me—not like a stranger. Like a puzzle.

Dahlia is delicate, doll-like, and impossible to pin down—braided hair, sweet perfume, soft voice. A girl who looks like she belongs in a storybook, not a lit class.

When she’s partnered with Kelsey for a school project, she smiles politely, keeps her secrets close, and accepts the invitation to her classmate’s home. There, she meets him. Kelsey’s father. Tired, kind, and vulnerable. The kind of man who still holds doors open and doesn’t notice when girls like Dahlia stare too long.

To everyone else, he’s just a man trying to move on after a failing marriage.

To Dahlia, he’s something else entirely: a chance to be chosen. A second shot at t
