Barret stood silently in the doorway, waiting for his eyes to adjust. He couldn’t see a thing, but he could hear the hushed breathing of his little daughter as she slept, and the creaking of quiet footsteps on the wooden stairs. He felt brief pressure on his upper arm, as warm fingers touched him cautiously.

“She forgot her blanket,” Tifa whispered, draping the tattered cloth over his shoulder. He covered her hand with his and squeezed gently. No words were necessary; he was sure she knew he appreciated the gesture.

"Daddy?"

"Daddy's here, baby," he said, his heart melting.

I don't know anything about FF, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating something beautiful when I encounter it.

This is such a sweet, tender scene. The love is palpable and so beautiful.

Wonderful.

Thank you. /blush I don't often write about these particular characters, so it was a bit of a challenge for me, but still fun!
