"Okay, sweetie. Time to get ready for bed!"
"But..." Vicky's expression was the definition of 'hangdog.' "It's not midnight yet."
"I know," Dan replied with a comforting smile. "But you've yawned three times in the last three minutes. Your brother and sister were in bed an hour ago. Puppies need their beauty sleep!"
"I wore my party dress and everything!"
"I'll tell you what: let's celebrate a little early."
"Really?"
"One quick dance, and then you go have your bath and go right to sleep. And in the morning we can watch the Rose Parade! Deal?"
"Deal!"
Vicky put her tiny hands in her father's, feet stepping gingerly onto his. The tomcat hummed a soft tune to guide their steps as they swung their way around the living room, thoughts of another father-daughter dance coming to mind.
I want to be
The first man you remember
I want to be
The last man you forget
I want to be
The one you always turn to
I want to be
The one you won't regret
May I be first
To say you look delightful?
May I be first
To dance you round the floor?
The very first
To see your face by moonlight?
The very first
To walk you to your door?
Well, young man, I'd be delighted!
There is nothing I would rather do!
What could be a sweeter memory
Than sharing my first dance with you?
I've been wanting to get this scene drawn for a long time, ever since SnuffyMcSnuff on Twitter drew a compilation of video game dads/surrogate dads dancing with their daughters. Knew all along that
minettefraise would do it justice, and finally got the chance to make it happen.
