Lock You In My Heart

Gabrielle was momentarily taken aback when she felt tiny hands on her leg.

She wondered whose kid had mistaken her as her mother until she looked down and saw Tammy’s mesmerizingly huge eyes. She grinned.

“Tammy, what are you doing here?”

Gabrielle asked. She squatted down so she and the child were both at eye level. Tammy’s face was so adorable that Gabrielle couldn’t help herself from pinching her rosy cheeks.

It was an odd surprise for Tammy to be at the airport. Gabrielle remembered clearly that the last time she saw her here, Tammy was cradled in Westley’s strong arms.

She wondered what business this little child had here this time. Gabrielle looked around and saw Westley and Bonnie walking towards their direction. The moment her eyes met theirs, she knew why Tammy was at this place. They brought her to the airport.

Tammy was too young to travel alone. After all, it was a long way home from the Morris’ Mansion.

“Little mommy, I’m here with mommy and little daddy. Daddy will be back soon. I recognized you the moment I saw you. Aren’t I smart?” Tammy had a proud look on her face. Her bragging was without a doubt, adorable.

“Mommy, little daddy… I was right! It’s little mommy! I knew it!” Tammy turned to look at the two adults. She was delighted as she talked about how clever she was.

“Yes… You’re amazing Tammy. You never make mistakes!” Bonnie gave Tammy a pat on the head.

“Gabrielle, what are you doing here? When Tammy ran to you, I thought she had mistaken you for someone else,” Bonnie asked with curiosity.

“Did you know that daddy would come home today? You came to pick him up as well, right?” Tammy’s voice was expecting.

“I saw Ms. Glyn off. Now I’m with you to wait for your daddy,” Gabrielle replied as she rubbed the little girl’s head.

Her reply sent joy to Tammy’s heart. “See! I’m right again!”
