Father

Elysia misses her papa, so much it hurts sometimes, misses the way he used to tuck her in at night, misses playing games, misses his glasses, his scratchy face and the way he'd laugh with mama.

She thinks Mr. Roy misses Papa too. He used to come over a lot, but now he almost never does. Elysia misses him, too. He isn't as good as Papa, but he's close.

So the next time he visits, she makes sure she sits on his lap. He seems uncomfortable, but he's warm and big, though not so big as Papa.

Eventually he relaxes.
