Sniff.. sniff.. you’re sobbing in your room, Liam’s still not home, your daughter, now 5 years old is at a friend, Liam would get her as well.

‘I can’t win.. I can’t win.. no.. I’d do everything to prove you.’ Sounds through your room, Usher – his mistakes, one of your favorite songs.

You sit down at the ground against your bed with your back, hands roughly through your hair, tears streaming down your face like the rain falls.

‘go and search for mommy..’ you hear from the hall, then you hear some footsteps, your daughter.

You brush your tears away but they keep streaming.

She comes in and watches you with big eyes.

‘Why are you crying mommy?’ she says, coming over to you. Her accent is just cute, it’s in between a Dutch and an English accent.

‘Nothing.. it’s not important, little princess.’ You say, hugging her tightly.

Liam walks in, a little shocked as well, seeing you on the ground.

‘What happened?’ he asks worried, helping you to get up.

‘nothing.’ You try to force a smile, but you fail.

‘Tell me.’ he looks in your eyes but you avoid his glance.

‘Ah, I know it, babe, come over here.’ He pulls you into a hug, rubbing your back until your little daughter pokes him.

‘You want to join princess?’ he smiles and lifts her up.

‘Why’s mommy crying daddy?’

‘Sometimes you’ve been so strong all the time, that when you’re alone, you cry.. that’s why she cried, mommy had so many tough times, and I think she’s so brave..’ he says, brushing another tear from your cheek.

‘mommy, I love you, you a strong woman.’  You think it’s so cute how she tries to understand it, you kiss her cheek, trying to smile, only a tiny smile curls around your mouth.

‘I love you too, and I love you as well Liam.. thank you.’ You kiss his lips before pulling them together in a little hug.
