Lily, a five-year-old girl, surprised her father when, on the way home, she asked if they could invite her \u201creal dad\u201d over for dinner. At first, he thought she might have misunderstood something, but Lily explained that a man had been visiting her from time to time, bringing her chocolate and telling her that he was her real father. Worried and unsure of what to believe, he decided not to frighten her and agreed to the idea of inviting the man to dinner.

The protagonist thought about all the moments they had shared together\u2014the bedtime stories, the times she had fallen and needed comfort, her fears, her laughter, and all the ordinary mornings they had experienced side by side.
