As Dmitri watched, Demi stayed in her window seat reading books or doing her work. It's heartbreaking for him to see her depressed like that. They all knew that she's waiting for Christian to come back. He promised her that he's alive and well. Everyone is tracking her food. She needed to eat, she needed to at least exercise. But after those, she will just sleep.
He approached her and sat on the other corner of the window seat close to her feet. He reached her face and he patted her head.
"Darling,"
"Dad?"
"You remember what I promised you?"
"That you'll bring back Christian safely?"
"Yes, and I won't fail you."
Demi pressed her lips and to contain the tears that she's been holding. She moved close to him and hugged him. She's a big girl now. But she'll forever be a daddy's girl.
"Christian will be with us again. He promised me too. What I only need is to give him motivation."
"Is it safe?"
