[ You nod, reminiscing about the days gone by where Dess took you somewhere she shouldn't have, or the days where Dess texted you to open the door because the key had "disappeared". ] [ ... ] [ "Infinite". Infinite others, infinite Dads. ] [ You never considered the possibility of another Dad. ]

[ But he grabs your hand. ] [ He speaks to you as if he never left. ] [ And he even makes you laugh--genuinely laugh. It hurt. But it was nice. ] [ Felt warm. ] [ Felt nostalgic. ] [ Holidays aren't stupid. That's just a fact. ]

[ You held onto him for dear life. You don't want to let go. You never want to let go again. ] [ Please, don't let this dream end. ] [ Why can't you just sleep forever? ] [ Why do you have to suffer? ] [ But he lets go. ] [ And for a moment it feels like he's a million miles away. ]

[ No. ] [ He's... he's right. ] [ A sigh. ] [ You felt a little weak. ] [ You don't smile. ] [ But you do look up. ] [ Taking his hand in yours, pulling yourself to a stand. ] * Fahaha. [ A half-hearted chuckle. ] * I... really hope you're right about that.

* Well sometimes stuff like that doesn't really go the way you'd think it'd go!!! * Just because you two knew each other since you were kids doesn't mean anything. What if she stops talking to you one day for no reason? And then all those times you spent practicing kissing would end up meaningless!
