Capture the Wind for Me
““Have a good time?” she asked, her sad smile betraying just how well she read the answer. Hoo-fah for her if she can figure it out, I thought as I threw away the trash from our meal. Did I have a good time? Yes, Katherine, it was wonderful and it was miserable, like falling into the perfect dream world, then being told you must leave.
“Where’s Daddy?” I asked her.
“In Robert’s bedroom, talking to him.” She punched in ten minutes on the timer.
