Greg's God-daughter

Greg's God-daughter pt.6

It had been a long night, by the time the credits rolled on screen she was tired and started to doze on Greg's shoulder. He picked her up and carried he and changed her for bed, he tucked her in and kissed her goodnight, as he pulled away though she grabbed his pyjama shirt.
