Elliot
“Elliot, you don’t need to do this.”Riley’s voice was gentle and for a second I could do nothing but look down at her small hand where it settled on my arm. “We can just go home.”
I knew she was worried about me, it made her very voice wobble.
I couldn’t go home though, that was out of the question. My father was dying. A father I hadn’t seen in person since I was just ten years old. But still.
He was my father.
And this may well be the last time I ever got to see him. My last chance to tell him everything I had been bottling up since I was a kid.
Maybe that made me heartless, but he deserved to know how great my life was without him being part of it. Everything I had achieved was down to my mother , who sacrificed everything for me and after her death to me.
My eyes fell on
