Returning to work for this company is something I hadn't dared to dream about anymore.

He nods heavily. "I'll inform Lil. She should get everything..." He coughs again, and his head turns dark red. "...set in motion." His hand reaches for his phone on the bedside table. "I'll support you as best as I can in my condition."

I watch in disbelief as he types a message.

He will be there for me. When I don't know what to do, he will help. It feels so reassuring that a whole new thought surges within me. An idea like a small light in the darkness of this day. A concept that fills my heart with more longing than it can contain.

What if this isn't just a terrible tragedy? What if fate is giving my father and me a chance that we would have never had without this accident?

The chance to get closer again.

The chance to become a family once more.

Yes. I want to believe in that. And also in the fact that I am up to the task that Stig just entrusted to me.

Since I can remember, I've spent every free minute in my father's company. I've inhaled fashion and everything related to it, know the processes, and understand what matters.

Back then, I let my silly feelings distract me, and it was the reason for my failure. They clouded my vision of what truly mattered and led me to do things I would never have done otherwise.

I was so incredibly in love.

And so incredibly foolish.

But I'm not that foolish Sky anymore. I haven't let any man into my life since then, and it hasn't even been difficult. Today, I know what matters to me and what I'll fight for with all my might.

ForTouch av lyx.

For my chance to be Father's daughter again.

And for our shared dream, which might not be lost forever after all.
