Chapter 13: 13 I Don't Want A Dad

Kayla's POV

The sudden appearance of Luisa and Rebecca completely threw a wrench into my plans. I rushed to print out new resumes so as not to miss my afternoon interviews. I almost missed the fourth interview.

Yet, these interviews ran over the expected schedule by more than two hours.

Consequently, when I finally reached the daycare to pick up Daisy, my fatigue-laden body was dragging behind me. The place was practically deserted except for Daisy herself, sitting alone in the classroom. She was still engrossed in building blocks, but her companion had shifted from the earlier little girl to a stuffed bunny.

Cough, cough.

A day full of hustle and bustle, combined with the chilly evening, led to an involuntary bout of coughing on my part.

"Mommy!"

Daisy immediately recognized my voice. Without a second thought, she dropped her toys and rushed over to where I stood by the door.

"Sorry, Daisy. Mommy got here later today."
