Blissed and Gone
Part One: Severus
* The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears and gone homeā¦*
Two hours. No, now it's two minutes. And now they're finally gone. An entire summer free of explosions and headaches and children whining about being jilted by lovers or punished out of house bias or whatever it is that these whelps yip about all day. But I'm forgetting about tonight. No, not forgetting. I've been thinking about it all day. I think about him every day. Showing up with his timid knock and gratified smile ready when I open the door. That smile. I wish he wouldn't bother with it. It's all I can do to remind him that some of us don't have a perfect life to smile about. Of course, I don't really feel that way. But what I feel isn't at issue here. We've agreed to avoid the subject altogether. Why hasn't the sun set yet? Where is that damned brat?
