Somebody That I Used To Know

Third Time

Tom sits at the table, sipping his coffee from the mug.

"Good morning, Daddy." Lily smiles.

"Hello, Lils," Tom replies, taking a deep breath. He still wanted to go to Oakwood but leaving Lily felt so hard, even though he thought she'd be better off.

"Can I have some coffee?"

"Um, I could pour you a small glass if you'd like."

"I just wanna sip," she reaches her hand out to take Tom's mug but he holds onto it.

"I'll get you a glass, alright?"

"Okay."

Lily follows Tom to the fridge to grabs the raspberry chocolate creamer. "Do you want the coffee hot or cold?"

"Cold."

Tom puts an ice cube in the cup and pours a small bit of scream with a small bit of coffee. It was a small cup so it looked like a lot to Lily, but it was only a couple sips. "Enjoy."

"Thanks. What do you out in yours?"

"The same." Tom smiles.

"So why can't I have it?"

"Because it's Daddy's."

"You tell me to share."

"And sharing is very important but this is Daddy's drink and it's not for little Lilys. You've got yours though!"

"Okay, Daddy." Lily shrugs.

Tom smiles again at Lily and finished his coffee. "Do you want to get Daddy a mint?" he asks Lily.

"Only if I can have one."

"Go ahead, dear."

Lillian opens the container of mints and grabs two. "Here you go,"

"Thank you, dear."

"Why do you have a mint after your coffee?"

"Um... because it makes your break smelly."

"All coffee?"

"Just Daddy's. You don't have to if you don't want to."

"No, it taste-is good."

"Tastes?" Tom chuckles.

"Yeah, taste-is."

Tom shakes his head and gets up to wash his mug.

Molly jogs down the stairs. "Good morning, baby."

"Good morning." he quietly replies.

"Are you still upset?"

"No."

"I don't think you should go."

"Well I'm not, are you happy?"

"Where are you going, Daddy?" Lily asks.

"No where."

"I just think it won't be good for you. I mean, you talked about how scared you were when you first got there. They made you wear these other clothes and they had to watch you to make sure that you didn't hurt yourself and-"

"Molly." Tom snaps. "Stop it."

"I'm just saying that-"

Tom looks over to Lillian, looking up at him.

"Oh, yeah, um... I'm sorry."

"I need a walk."

"Wait, where are you going?"
