Chapter 3
"Tommy, I can't tie my shoe", the innocent little voice said.
"That's okay Maya, I'll do it." he said bending down to tie her shoe. "Do you like bunnies My-My?" Tommy asked the four year old.
She nodded her head, yes.
"First, you take a shoe string in both hands. Next, you cross one string over the other like this", he said while he demonstrated. "Then, you make one string into a bunny ear. Take the other string and wrap it around the bunny ear. Finally, pull the string through. Now, you should have two bunny ears and tied shoes!" Tommy said excitedly.
"Yay! Tank you Tommy", Maya said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Anytime kid. Are you ready to go?" he asked.
Maya checked her backpack for her Dora the Explorer doll. She noticed it wasn't there. She looked up at Tommy, as he noticed that she didn't have her favorite doll. He motioned for her to go check her soon-to-be old room.
As she ran up the stairs, Tommy looked around the mansion for the last time. When he got to the den, the fireplace was still lit. Suddenly a flashback went through his head.
He remembered arriving in Montana. As he walked through the wooden doors of the house, there stood a frightened little girl. Tommy's heart broke all over again as she cried for her mother. Darius had asked Tommy to fly to Montana, to look after his little girl because Darius ex, Maya's mother, had gotten hooked on drugs again, and she couldn't take care of Maya properly. Darius trusted Tommy with his pride and joy, knowing that she would be in good hands. Tommy would do anything for Maya, so he agreed. As he stood there and watched Maya cry, he thought about how he had finally asked Jude on a date. And how he left her standing in the street, screaming his name, when he canceled their date and told her he was never coming back. Two girls that he loved were heartbroken. But, Tommy was the one to blame for Jude's broken heart. At the time, Maya was one years old, so the house nanny, Isabel helped Tommy care for her. Tommy was the strong male counterpart needed to raise Maya. Portia would visit occasionally to see her niece. Darius visited often, when he wasn't fighting another nasty custody dispute over Maya.
