Chapter 5: A Night Time Visitor

I woke up about three in the morning to find that I was not alone in bed but there was a warm girl cuddled up to me sound asleep. It was Kim and she had her body pressed up against mine and an arm around my chest. I should have shook her awake and sent her to her bed but I didn't have the heart to disturb her so I just pulled her closer and went back to sleep. Truthfully I kind of liked the idea of having her in my bed even if society thinks it is wrong. I was going to have a talk with her in the morning.

I awoke about eight in the morning and again smelled coffee. Staggering out to the kitchen I found Kim watching cartoons on the kitchen TV. She turned to me saying "Gee dad I thought you'd never wake up. How about some breakfast?" I replied "Yeah, that would be great but we need to talk." She said "So go ahead and talk." I continued the conversation "I woke up during the night and found you in my bed. Why were you in there?" She came over to me and sat on my lap with her arms around my neck. She gave me a little kiss and started saying "Dad, I miss mom a lot and I know you do too. I don't like the idea of you having to sleep alone in your bed with no one to hold you. I love you very much and it makes me sad to see you so lonely. I get lonely too so I decided to come to you and keep you company. If you insist I will stay in my bed but I won't like it and will be miserable." She then got up and continued making breakfast.
