Chapter 5 - The PhotographThe girl handed him another object.
A photograph.
Tank stared at it.
It showed his former lover standing beside a little girl.
The resemblance hit him like a bullet.
The child's eyes were his.
Her chin.
Her stubborn expression.
Even the tiny scar above her eyebrow reminded him of his own.
Tank's knees nearly buckled.
“Is she…”
The girl nodded.
“I'm your daughter.”
No one moved.
No one breathed.
Tank stared at her as if the entire world had been rebuilt in front of him.
He had spent years believing he had nothing left.
Now he had everything.
And someone had deliberately stolen it from him.
He crouched slowly until they were eye to eye.
“What’s your name?”
She smiled sadly.
“Lily.”
Tank reached for her hand.
For the first time in nearly a decade, the monster inside him wasn't angry.

It was afraid.
Afraid that if he blinked, she would disappear.
