He immediately stepped between us.
“Maggie, stop.”
I stared at him.
“Move.”
“Please. Listen to me first.”
“Move away from my daughter.”
I tried to go around him. He blocked me. My panic turned into anger.
“Daniel!” The continuation read in the comments 👇👇‼️‼️
“Maggie, don’t come closer yet.”
“Why?”
He didn’t answer.
I could see Lily behind him.
She looked terrified.
“Lily, come to Mommy.”
She looked at Daniel.
Then back at me.
She didn’t move.
That was when I started crying.
“Lily, please.”
Daniel finally stepped aside.
She ran into my arms.
I dropped to my knees and held her.
“Did he hurt you?”
She shook her head.
“Did he make you do something?”
She began crying harder.
“I promised not to tell.”
I looked over her shoulder at Daniel.
“What have you done?”
His face had gone pale.
“I should have told you.”
“Told me what?”
