"Yes, baby?"

"Why did Mommy leave?"

"..."

"Daddy..?"

"Mommy had to go to a very far place. Somewhere where you and I can't travel."

"..Why not?"

"Because that's just how life works."

"Dad?"

You shifted uncomfortably on the couch. You leaned your head back and laid your neck on the back rim of the couch.

He didn't respond to your voice and you lifted your head to look to your right. He sat on the sofa next to you that faced the left.

Your father had his fingers intertwined, resting under his chin. Almost like he was holding his head on a pedestal. His knuckles were white as paper and his face seemed, distracted. He was just, staring. Staring out the window that was slightly behind you.

You grew anxious as his body language was showing signs of fear, but you weren't sure what exactly about.

There was a continuous commotion outside that both of you were slightly ignoring, but could still hear. The noises were becoming a bit louder and every time they did, your father would flinch, just the tiniest bit.

You huffed in a bit of annoyance and called him again,

"Dad."

His eyes moved quickly up to you as his gaze from the windows didn't stay any longer.

"What? What's wrong?"

His voice wavered between scared and normal like he was trying his best to act as if nothing was happening.
