When Neil arrived home, he found Hazel in the living room with the parts of the Gundam model on the table. The little girl lifted her head to look at him and her eyes widened with joy.
Seeing the cheerful expression on her face brought a smile to his face. Neil walked over to Hazel and sat down beside her. His hand stretched out to touch her head before Neil leaned to kiss the top of her head. "Hazel, what are you doing?"
The little girl did not answer, but only lifted the Gundam box on the table.
Neil looked at the box and then to parts that Hazel was working on. "I've never seen this one before. Is this new?"
Hazel looked at him with a sparkled eyes and nodded.
It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed to see that Hazel did not speak to him. Neil thought that he missed hearing Hazel's cheerful voice whenever he stepped into the house.
The place seemed a little quiet without Hazel's voice.
