She couldn't understand why he would say he was a bad father. For all she knew he was the best daddy in the whole world.
With her small Petit hands she cupped his face. He looked sad like a puppy in the rain almost tearful.
"You think so?" He asked and she nodded vigorously to show her seriousness. He closed his eyes, sighed and smiled.
Right now the atmosphere was too comforting to bring out the fact that she confided in a total stranger rather than himself and who knows if Sela knew about this....
The warmth he felt in his heart at her words he couldn't explain. His daughter loved him probably more than she could ever love anyone else and that was good enough for him. He'll discuss the matter another time.
The father and daughter just snuggled on the couch in silence. The kind of silence where both party were comfortable with, it was like talking but without words.
