Emma's Secret
“Daniel had wanted to check the latest baseball score on TV and sat down in the family room with Peter, while Sheila drank a cup of coffee in the kitchen with Megan. They had one hour before they all needed to be at the small amusement park where Megan had booked Alexis’s birthday party.
Emma sat curled in an overstuffed chair in the far corner of the family room, playing with some of her ponies. She’d originally been out in the kitchen with Meg and Sheila, but slowly she’d ventured into the family room.
“Emma, why don’t you come and sit by your old Papa?” Daniel patted the couch beside him during a commercial. Peter caught the deer-in-headlights look on Emma’s face as she raised her head and stared at Daniel.
“Come on, sweetheart. I won’t bite.” Dan’s smile faltered when he saw the look in her eyes.
Emma sat frozen in her chair.
“Not yet, huh? Well…I’ll just go see what your grandmother is doing.” Dan’s shoulders slumped before he pushed himself off the couch.
