Cries of the Wounded

Epilogue

Logan was getting used to it, finally. The missed hours of sleep. Long nights spent pacing the floors as he walked the length of the attic. The tiny knot of panic at every tiny whimper she would make in the night. Holding his breath until she drifted back to sleep.

It both confused and amazed him how much his life had changed in just a few short months. More than a decade and a half of searching for truths to which he would most likely never find the answers, only to know now that none of it really mattered. Not when he had everything he ever wanted right before him. And as he shuffled sleepily across the dimly lit loft, he released a satisfied sigh.

As usual when he reached his destination, his breath caught as he bent down and peered into her face. And true to form, she stared back up at him, her soft brown eyes wide and sparkling with both innocence and way too much energy for the early AM hour. It was a loosing battle against the grin that slowly spread across his face, as she pursed her lips in what looked like a hello kiss for him, so he blew her one back before he reached down and scooped his little girl in his arms.

"Good Mornin', Lil' Darlin'."
