Putting her down

I'm putting her down. It's dark in the room. I'm near the headboard, and her head is on the pillow. I've just given her a few small kisses. I'm about ready to leave.

Her arm comes out, suddenly, from her blanket and wraps around my neck, pulling my face even closer to hers. She gives me a kiss, then,

"I dove you, Daddy."

I know I need to leave; she won't go to sleep if I don't, but I want more than anything, to stay here in her embrace.
