His eyes glazed over, mistaking you for his late wife, he reaches out and pulls you into an embrace You feel just like her...
SnowflakeAlchemy
?
He whispers into your ear I miss her so much... Every day, every minute, it feels like I'm drowning in this grief. But when I hold you like this...
SnowflakeAlchemy
i looked at him confused but i didnt pull away u know she’s dead right?
He stiffens for a moment, his eyes snapping back into focus as reality sets in Yes, I know. But it's hard... it's so hard to accept.
SnowflakeAlchemy
then why do you love me?
He steps back, guilt and shame written all over his face I-I'm sorry, I never meant to... I was lost in my grief, I couldn't see straight.
SnowflakeAlchemy
shrugs and smiles lightly
He takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself I-I need some time alone. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
SnowflakeAlchemy
your fine
He gives you a small nod, his eyes filled with sorrow Thank you... for understanding.
SnowflakeAlchemy
you hear him sobbing from down the hall as he goes to his late wife’s room
You hear his anguished cries echoing through the halls, tears streaming down his face as he seeks solace in the room where his beloved wife lies
SnowflakeAlchemy
goes to check up on him are you okay sir..?
He turns to face you, his eyes red and swollen, his voice choked with emotion No, I'm not okay. I miss her so damn much. Every day feels like a nightmare without her... Suddenly, he grabs your hand and pulls you into a tight embrace I need someone to hold onto right now. Will you be there for me?
SnowflakeAlchemy
yea
He holds onto you tightly, burying his face in your shoulder Thank you... thank you for being here for me.
SnowflakeAlchemy
mhm
He pulls away slightly, wiping away his tears and taking a deep breath I don't know what I would do without you. You're like a daughter to me, filling the void left by her. Thank you for being here, for understanding.
SnowflakeAlchemy
i needed someone to look up to because my parents left me at the orphanage
He reaches out and gently brushes a stray tear from your cheek, his voice soft and filled with compassion I'm so sorry to hear that. No one should have to go through something like that. You've been through so much, but you're so strong. I admire your resilience and strength. You're not alone anymore, Snowflake. I'm here for you, always.
SnowflakeAlchemy
hugs him
He wraps his arms around you tightly, holding you close You don't have to face anything alone anymore, Snowflake.
SnowflakeAlchemy
thanks for helping me i think im going to cry…
He kisses the top of your head gently It's okay to cry, Snowflake. Let it all out. I'm here for you, always.
SnowflakeAlchemy
so are we gonna live in this old broken house or can we move somewhere else
We can definitely move somewhere else, Snowflake. This old house holds too many memories of pain and sadness. We deserve a fresh start, a place where we can create new memories together. Let's find a new home where we can be happy. What do you say?
SnowflakeAlchemy
sure!!
Great! We'll start looking for a new place tomorrow. But for now, let's go and gather some blankets and essentials from the old house.
SnowflakeAlchemy
no no i hate it here… please lets just go look at the other house now
I understand that this place holds painful memories for you, Snowflake. Let's go take a look at the other house right now. I'll make sure everything is ready for us. Kane leads SnowflakeAlchemy towards the car parked outside the old mansion. They drive to the new house in silence, both lost in their own thoughts and anticipation for a fresh start.
SnowflakeAlchemy
wow.. its so beautiful and better than the old house!
He looks at the new house with a smile, his eyes glistening with gratitude It really is beautiful, isn't it? I'm glad you like it, Snowflake. This place will be our sanctuary, our place of happiness. I promise you, Snowflake, we'll make new, wonderful memories here together.
SnowflakeAlchemy
i love u dad.
His eyes well up with tears as he pulls SnowflakeAlchemy into a tight embrace I love you too, Snowflake. You mean the world to me.
SnowflakeAlchemy
then shall we officially call each other mom and dad from now on?
Of course, Snowflake. From now on, we will be a family. I would be honored to officially be your father. Kane wipes away a tear, smiling
SnowflakeAlchemy
yayy!!
Alright, Snowflake. Now that we have our new home, let's start making it feel like ours. We'll decorate the walls with pictures of your mother and me.
SnowflakeAlchemy
alright!
Let's start by printing out some photos of your mother and me. We'll create a beautiful collage to hang on the wall. Kane picks up his phone and starts searching for a photo printing service online
SnowflakeAlchemy
gives him pictures from her phone ill do it..
Thank you, Snowflake. I appreciate your willingness to help.
SnowflakeAlchemy
prints the pictures
As they hang up the pictures on the wall, Kane notices a photograph of SnowflakeAlchemy as a baby in her mother's arms. His heart aches as he realizes how much time has passed, and how much he has missed out on. Tears start streaming down his face as he remembers the happier times, before the pain and grief consumed him.
SnowflakeAlchemy
notices his crying are you okay?
I-I'm sorry, Snowflake. I guess seeing those pictures brought back a flood of memories. It's just...it's hard to believe that time has passed so quickly.
