A little girl with oak brown hair and large light brown eyes leaned over the faded yellow fake food looking top of the pint size table in Mrs. Rivers s Kindergarden classroom.
really no way, how is that possible. said the little boy with hair of an almost bleach blond and green eyes beside her.
Daddy says that I have, him, papa and an almost daddy watching over me from where ever people go after they go to sleep forever. Sort of like a guardian angel
no way.
yes way. He says that before he had to go to sleep forever, he was tall and very angry a lot. the little girl removed her hands from the chunk of clay in front of her waving them in the air for emphasis.
but he cared a lot about him and uncle Derek.
The little boy raised one eyebrow Who s that?
Uncle Derek? One of my Daddy s friend s from high school. You know, big people school
Daddy tells me that the man s name was Logan and he had blond hair and green eyes.
The little girl stopped her words fading. The two abandoned their lumps of clay to stare at each other. They looked into each other s eyes.
My name is Lily, short for Lilian. My Daddy is a movie star.
really?
yea
my name is Daniel, nice to meet you. the young boy said in a very mature, grown up manner for only a kindergardener.
Do you want me to show you something my daddy showed me?
umm. the boy, Daniel said hesitantly.
do you know what a star is, not the kind my daddy is.
yes but I don t know how to draw one.
here she took the Daniel s hand by the wrist and grabbed a yellow crayola marker from the large blue bin in the center of the table. There is a trick my papa showed me one time while daddy was away filming. You go up, down, then across, straight across, and back down to connect the points, then you color is in.
oh, thank you.
On the other end of the classroom a man with similar oak brown hair and brown eyes walks in the door. He stops in the entrance to the small blocked of hallway where the cubbies were. Miss Rivers began to talk to the man turning her back to the children for just a moment before turning to smile at Lily.
Without saying a word she knew this meant it was time to go. Just before leaving she turned to the little boy turned waving with the hand not on her navy blue backback strap saying bye, see you tom-or-ow. in her little voice.
Julian stopped to see who his daughter was bidding farewell till another day to. A familiar Chesire grin met his features when his eyes fell on a little boy with blond hair and emerald green eyes looking down at a yellow star drawn on his hand in washable marker.
