Chapter 5: The First Day of School
September arrived, bringing a crisp chill to the air. It was Lily’s first day of kindergarten. Vance walked her to the gates of the local elementary school, his eyes scanning the perimeter with the hyper-vigilance of a former enforcer.
Lily clung to his leg. ""What if the bad men come?"" she whispered.
Vance knelt down, looking her directly in the eyes. ""There are no bad men here. And if there were, they’d have to go through me."" He kissed her forehead, just as he had done on the floor of the mansion. ""Be brave for me.""
As he watched her walk into the building, her small backpack looking massive on her shoulders, Vance felt a profound vulnerability. He had traded a life of armor for a life of an open heart, and it was terrifying.
