The Promise
Please stay. Linger. Father. Father.
‘Go, my treasure.’ — He whispers.
‘I’ll be away just for a few days. Don’t you dare run anywhere.’
He smiles soflty.
‘You are so silly.’—He says barely.
‘I’ve got it from someone’. — I whisper back with a smirk.
‘Don’t you run anywhere while I’m away.’—I repeat.
He closes his eyes.
‘I will wait for you’.
