Safest in your arms
Damon Salvatore was tired, tired of dealing, tired of the sad looks he got, he was just tired. All he thought he would have to take care of and care about was the store and Ava his little princess. Kat died a year ago and he was tired of the pity looks he got.
Ava Salvatore was a bright 5 years old. She loved her daddy but she knew he was sad all the time because of mommy. It hurt her yes she missed her kisses and smile and laugh, but daddy is never happy anymore and that hurts more because daddy use to be happy all the time.
"Daddy?" said Ava
"Yes, munchkin, what's up?" Damon looked at his little girl.
"Daddy, when can we go to the park and play? I love playing on the deck, but I really want to swing "said Ava with the biggest grin on her face
"Tomorrow we will go okay baby?" Damon asked his daughter
"Okay daddy." Ava replied
Damon watched his daughter walk away. The store was steady and he had two people manning the counter. He decided to go out and watch the people arrive from the bus station.
Damon walked out of the store and almost ran right into what he thought was an angel.
"Oop! So sorry miss I didn't see you there." Damon said instantly
"Don't worry about it." Said the skittish stranger
" My names Damon owner of the store, and you are?" he asked with a smile
"Elena mik.. Gilbert."
