“I’m certain of it, Little one. Her name is Eloise. I know she looks young, but she’s twenty-two. She’s with Cannon.”

I turn my head to meet Daddy’s gaze. “She’s with Cannon? Still?”

Daddy grins. “Yes, Little one. Go to sleep.”

“But…” I have so many questions. Eloise… And she’s still with Cannon…

He gives me a stern look. “Sleep, June.”

“Yes, Daddy.” I settle back down and force my brain to calm. It’s not hard. After all, Daddy ordered me to sleep, and there’s nothing I like better in the world than to obey my Daddy. He makes everything easier. He warms my heart.

Cannon and Eloise, though…

“June,” Daddy barks firmly.

I giggle and take deep breaths before slipping into a deep sleep.
