Father stopped.
Looked around.
Then he turned to me.
Suddenly he grabbed my hand.
- Finally, we are alone.
I looked at him in surprise.
- What’s happening?
He looked me straight in the eyes.
- Emily, come here. Let me kiss you.
I instinctively recoiled.
- Dad, why are you saying that?
He took a step towards me.
- Because I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
I felt my heart start beating faster and faster.
- What are you trying to tell me?
My father put his hand on my shoulder.
- Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to harm you.
I immediately pushed his hand away.
- Dad, please don’t come closer.
His expression changed.
- Emily, you misunderstood me.
— THEN EXPLAIN!
He looked towards the old bench.
-
First, I want you to do something for me.
