One evening, Jim told his wife, Sandy, about the little girl who kept waving at him from her window. Her gaze felt intense, almost like a plea for help. Sandy dismissed it, suggesting the girl was just bored, but Jim couldn’t shake his unease.
The next day, after seeing the girl wave again, Jim decided to visit her house. When the door opened, he was stunned to see Juliette, a woman from his past. Before he could process, the little girl ran to the door, shouting, “Daddy!”
Juliette revealed that after their breakup years ago, she discovered she was pregnant but couldn’t find Jim. The little girl, Heidi, was his daughter. Jim returned home and broke the news to Sandy, who encouraged a DNA test. The results confirmed what Jim already felt—Heidi was his child.
Juliette apologized for the circumstances but only wanted Heidi to know her father. Overjoyed, Jim and Sandy embraced Heidi as part of their family. That night, when Heidi waved again, Jim waved back, his heart full of happiness.
