Chapter 105

HAZEL

For a long moment, Cade doesn't move. He just stands there in nothing but that towel, his broad back tense. Then he slowly lowers himself to one knee in front of the little girl.

His voice is low and so deep.

"Hey," he says gently. "What's your name?"

The little girl shifts her weight, clutching her pink backpack tighter. Her big eyes dart up to him, uncertain.

"Daisy," she whispers.
