These thoughts about a time when I can't keep my existence a secret soon went away.
"My child, you seem down? Did you not have a good night?"
His talkative self made me leave those thoughts behind with his nice and thoughtful words.
Along with his usual pause in wait to escort us to the little living room, his affectionate eyes made me focus on what today brought us. Because, even if I can somehow foresee what could happen... Nothing is set in stone yet.
Everything changes, so having these concerns is useless.
As always, I will do as I see fit to the circumstances, always veiling for the outcome that will bring happiness to the people Marianne loves... And I secretly appreciate.
I answered his question by making an honest gesture, trying to imply that I had a so-so night.
This much should be fine to be sincere about. We are not perfect, so we can have good days and bad days like anyone else.
