She said my daddy gotted lost a long time ago in the storm. But that he gonna find us one day. Are you my daddy, Rapunzel-boy?” I feel like someone dropped a fucking mountain on top of me; its weight bears down on my chest. I can’t move. I can’t even breathe. I open my mouth to say something, but no sound leaves my lips. “Yes,” Nera says, her voice breaking. “He finally found us.” “Oh. Good.” Lucia nods in a serious manner, then pulls on my hair with a quick tug. “Don’t get lost again.” I close my eyes and kiss the top of her head. “Never again. I promise.”
