The gentle wind coming off the water whispered through her hair as she finished her salad. They’d had a carefree afternoon with a hayride, apple picking in the orchard, and feeding animals at the petting zoo. They had a carload of pumpkins to carve and decorate the porch with. Anything she wanted, he would give her. Seeing her smile at the farm this afternoon gave him a new purpose in life. He’d show her everything she had missed out on as a child. He’d give her the world. “Didn’t my dad look good?” she asked as she pushed her plate away from her. “The best I’ve seen him look since before the accident.” “He loves the new place. His room is so bright.” “I think he has a crush on his physical therapist.” He laughed when he thought about the way Pat smiled when the perky blonde fussed over him. “I think you’re right.” She giggled. “He was surprised to see the two of us visiting him together.”
