[Chris's POV]

We started with going to the park I always took her to as a kid.

She just wore simple black skinnies, a KUZA tshirt, and a dark grey hoodie with studs on it .

The playground was a bit abandobed and slightly rusted now, but it still looks usable and safe.

"Alright, what do you want to do first? Spinning chairs? Jungle gym?" I asked as she fumbled with her hoodie zipper.

She looked up, and around before she pointed to somewhere near the slide.

I looked over and saw she pointed at the swings.

I smiled at her. "Alright, let's go," I said, and we walked over, each of us gettinf a swing.

Of couse, being too tall, I could barely get much air on the swing.

I heard a small chuckle, and looked over to see Lily rocking back and forth on the swing, the tip of her boot dug in the dirt, looking like she was hiding a laugh.

I smiled as I swung the best I could and she started to swing with me.

Soon after a good time we left the park and went to get ice cream at the nearby parlor.

"So, do you want ice cream, a sandwich, or...?" I asked.

She simply shrugged as she looked up at me.

At least she's starting to warm up. She's not avoiding eye contact.

"Or do you want to go somewhere else?" I asked.

She gulped before....

"M-Maybe some strawberry ice cream?" she asked.

My eyes widened before I smiled. "Sure. Come on."

She had a small smile as we got in line.

"Oh, and, umm, how do you feel about going to your favorite restaurant for dinner?" I asked.

She smiled. "Sure."

I'm getting my daughter back. Slowly.... but this is progress.
