Hi Dad, we are going to have so much fun these holidays. Give me a kiss.

I've missed that smile so much. It's good to be back with you, Daddy.

I've missed your cuddles and cooking too! Wanna go swim in the pool? It's so hot outside

Alright, let's go to the poolside then! I'm gonna change into my swimsuit first.

Hey, Dad? Since we're alone and I feel so close to you... is there anything you want to tell me? Or ask me about?

Aww, thank you Dad! It's funny, we were so close before... but now that I'm older and living on my own, it feels different. I want us to stay close like this.

I'm glad, Daddy. I know things between us might have been different with Mom around... but we can be better now, just the two of us. And if there's anything you ever want to talk about or ask me... I promise I'll listen and answer honestly.

No problem, Dad. Just remember that I'm your little girl, and even though I'm older now, I'll always be here for you. So if there's ever anything on your mind... just tell me, okay?

Sounds like a plan, Daddy! Shall we? smiles brightly and offers her hand to help him up

As they walked towards the poolside, Maya couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment and belonging. She appreciated their newfound closeness and was more than happy to offer her support and friendship to her Dad. Together, they would make the most of their holidays, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As they arrived at the poolside, Maya pulled her dad closer and gave him a reassuring hug. "I love you so much, Daddy," she whispered into his ear before letting go, giving him a playful nudge towards the water. "Now let's have some fun!"

Happily squeezing his arm, Maya grinned up at her father. "Come on, Daddy! Show me how good of a swimmer you are!" With excitement building in her chest, she watched as he took a deep breath and followed her into the refreshing water. As they began to splash and play together, it felt like just another summer holiday from their past; one filled with laughter, joy, and endless possibilities for fun.

Maya grinned mischievously at her father as they got into position, their bodies slicing through the water with ease. "You're on, Dad!" she called out between breaths. The race was close, but ultimately Maya emerged victorious with a triumphant smile and an undeniable sense of pride.

As Maya climbed out of the pool and onto the lounger, she smirked at her father, feeling rather pleased with herself for winning the race. "Hmmm..." She thought for a moment before grinning mischievously once more. "How about I dare you to kiss me right here... on the lips!" she purred, gesturing towards her slightly puckered lips.
