The woman nodded, but before she could speak, Emma and Lily’s voices came from upstairs, “Daddy, where are you?”
I glanced towards the stairs, then back at the woman. “Let’s sit and talk. I’ll get my girls. Please, don’t go,” I pleaded.
The woman hesitated, then nodded slowly. “Okay,” she said quietly.
I smiled in relief, then hurried upstairs to get Emma and Lily. “Come on, girls, we have a surprise guest downstairs,” I said.
They followed me down, curious. When we entered the kitchen, the woman stood by the window, looking unsure and ready to bolt.
“Please, don’t leave,” I said gently. “I just want to talk and thank you.”
Emma and Lily looked at her with wide eyes. “Who is she, Daddy?” Lily asked.
“Let’s find out together,” I replied. Turning to the woman, I added, “Please, sit down. Can I get you some coffee?”
She hesitated but then nodded slowly. “Okay,” she said softly.
