Vivian bled out after giving birth. Trent dragged her out the hospital's back door and dumped her by the trash. She died at dawn—a ghost only her daughter Annie could see. Five years later, Trent claimed Annie as his own—to drain her marrow for his stepson. In the group home, five-year-old Annie ripped free and ran to a man in a wheelchair—Damian Calloway, the Reaper no one dared touch. She clung to his leg and screamed: “Daddy, save me!” Damian lost his legs six years ago. Doctors said he could never father a child. He thought Vivian betrayed him. But when the forged DNA report shattered, when the confession recording played, when Annie hummed her mother's lullaby in a thunderstorm—the man who hadn't walked in six years stood up, inch by inch, for his daughter. Trent rotted in prison. Damian knelt at Vivian's grave, Annie in his arms: “All the love she missed, I'll give her twice over.”

00:00I had said that, holding her on stormy nights long ago.
00:04She had remembered every word.
00:09Damien froze.
00:11He was used to cold and loneliness.
00:13A soft, warm child in his arms left him lost.
00:17Cole rolled his eyes in the doorway.
00:19Bro, your daughter is a little freak.
00:21I'm done. I'm going back to bed.
00:25The door shut.
00:26Only Annie, Damien, and the me no one could see were left in the room.
00:31Damien sighed and stroked Annie's hair.
00:33I'm not scared of thunder. Go back to sleep.
00:37Liar, your face is so pale.
00:39Daddy, can I sing for you?
00:41She didn't wait for an answer and hummed the lullaby I taught her, off-key.
00:45Sleep now, sleep now, my little baby.
00:48Mommy is always by your side.
00:50At those words, my tears finally broke loose.
00:53That was my tune, my words, taught to her one line at a time.
00:56Now she used that song to comfort her father.
00:59She sang and patted his back in her clumsy way.
01:03Damien's tight body slowly eased.
01:07Half asleep, he murmured one word.
01:11Damien.
01:13I'm here.
01:15I've always been here.
01:17But you can't hear me.
01:18He couldn't hear my answer.
01:20And he couldn't hear me cry.
01:22Annie heard.
01:25She sniffed and burrowed deeper into his arms.
01:29Daddy, I'll always stay with you.
01:31Don't give me to the bad people.
01:33In the dark, a large hand settled gently on her back.
01:37Take care.
01:37Mm.
01:38Mm.
01:38Mm.
