"Would you mind if I-" he leaves the question unfinished as he waggles his fingers.
The barest shake of your head and then – Charles is there, right there in your head.
You feel him sifting around, nudging at your memories before finally picking one.
-.-
You light the fourth candle. Your mother is smiling, smiling, smiling.
Another year had gone by and you're more certain than ever that Hitler really just a phase this country will get over.
So you and your mama laugh and believe that everything will be okay.
-.-
He's watching you and you're lost, buried deep in the memory and those horribly sweet baby blues.
Then it all fades and you see Charles brush a thumb over his cheek. He'd actually been crying for you.
"What did you just do to me?" you ask, amazed at the emotion you couldn't keep out of your voice.
And, when you lift your hand to move the satellite, you feel it – a power you never knew you had coursing through you, flaring up and out and the satellite moves.
