Beyond the Divorce

When my dad saw me and Ava walk in, he quickly stood up. "I seem to have lost control again. I'll go check on my plants outside. When you're feeling better, I'll push you out there to get some fresh air. Your daughter can keep you company for now."

"I slept better than ever." He sounded like he was in good spirits, and I smiled with relief.
