She ran towards him, grin on her face, arms outstretched and feet barely touching the floor.

He always caught her.

She’d laugh and giggle and call out “Mommy, watch Daddy fly me!” as he tossed her into the air.

He always caught her.

She did everything at a run, aiming for whatever caught her attention, tripping over her own feet, stumbling into danger.

He always caught her.

She stayed out late, reacting to the impending doom of divorce with anger, defiance and deceit.

He was too busy to hear her call - ‘Daddy, I’m still flying!’

He let her fall.
