Dare Legacy: 1.6- Growing Years

Life was going along smoothly. Against the odds I had raised a lovely young girl, all alone. But I felt like I had a weight sitting on my shoulders. It would only be a matter of time before Indi asked me who her father was, and I still had no answer ready.

While Indi was at school I tended to my garden. It was my sanctuary. When I had been heartbroken after Indi's father and I split this place had helped me. Now I used my time in the garden to contemplate how to tell my daughter my biggest mistake.

I wondered what Indi thought about her missing father. Obviously she had to have known that she had a father once, but as the days went past I kept expecting to hear that question from her. And it never came.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that when my daughter asked me, I'd tell her the truth. That I had fallen in love, I had been betrayed and I out of that mistake I had been given the greatest gift.

Once I had my answer ready, I decided not to wait for Indi to ask. So over dinner one night I began to tell her the story. But before I had even properly begun Indi stopped me, smiled that sweet smile and told me it didn't matter what had happened before, it was in the past, we should move forward.

I was so proud of my baby. It was her birthday about a week later and I made sure I cooked her cake ready. We spoke no more on the matter of her father.

I was a little sad that for my girl's birthday I was the only one present.

She was a beautiful young woman.

I did eventually tell Indi about her father. Quickly before she could stop me, I told her that her father was the well-known business mogul Jarrett Sanchez, and after I found out he was married I left him. After that night, we spoke no more on the matter.
