It's Tuesday night. I drove all night to be here tonight. I am finally going to see my baby. I wonder if she's as excited to see me as I am to see her. I wonder what she'll look like. I have pictured her face in front of me every day for the past week.
The first thing I will do when I see her, is just to hold her, and keep her close to me, protecting her from the rest of the world. For that moment, there will be no one else in the world. I will look in her big eyes and look for that beautiful sunflower in them.
I wonder if she'll be hungry. Maybe she's tired. Maybe she just wants to sleep. And I will take her home and give her food and put her to bed. And then I will lie there on the bed beside her, and watch her sleep. I will listen to her breathing, in and out, in and out.
It's Tuesday night. Jessica's coming home tonight.
