My life was a far cry from Nico’s, which means I did my job as a father, even if it meant sacrificing love and time to make it possible. “I may have money now, but it wasn’t always like that, which is why I work hard to make sure you have all the things I always wanted but couldn’t have.” “Oh.” His frown deepens. “I’m sorry for making fun of work.” “It’s okay. I’m not telling you so you feel bad. I just want you to understand why working is important to me.” He throws his arms around my waist and gives me a hug. “Thank you for working hard so we could come on vacation.”
