She was such a pretty little thing. I had found her Facebook account through a mutual friend as if fate had decided to be on my side for once. I don't know what it was that drew me towards this deliciously innocent little girl. Perhaps it was her hazel eyes which sparkled when she smiled or her long auburn hair that framed her face perfectly. Or just maybe it was those light freckles sprinkled across her slightly chubby cheeks. Whatever the reason may be, I just knew I had to have her.

I immediately sent her a message after struggling to come up with the proper approach. Desperately I hoped I wouldn't scare her away, however, I was positive my age would turn her off. I wasn't in the worst shape for a forty-nine year old though I noticed recently my grey speckled black hair had started to bald. I never considered myself an ugly fellow and past women were known to favor my jawline. But this young girl I was certain would not notice that considering I was old enough to be her father.

Still despite my doubts, it did not falter my message. Soon enough she would discover whether she wanted to or not, she would be my little girl.
