Come on Daddy!

Rose went and looked through the peephole. Why did he come?

“Rose, are you here? I’m looking for you.” With no answer from Rose, the person outside knocked on the door several times.

“I’m here.” Rose opened the door and standing at the door was William, “why are you here?”

“I need to talk to you.” William went through countless internal conflicts and struggles before mustering sufficient courage to look for her, “May I come in?”

“Come in.” Rose backed off for William to enter and she closed the door behind him. “Mr. Quinn, I’m sorry that I don’t have slippers that suit you, I hope you don’t mind.”

“No worries, I’ll use shoe covers.” William saw some disposable shoe covers and put them on.

After he put on the shoe covers, William walked to the living room. Rose said, “Please have a seat. What would you like? Water, juice, or coffee?”

“Water will do.” William sat on the soft sofa.

Rose went to get the glass of water. He looked around. It was a simple two-room apartment. Though it isn’t big, it was very warm and cozy. She had a lot of succulent plants and soft toys which were mainly animals.

On the wall were pictures of Rose and Doris, who were smiling from ear to ear.

William’s heart warmed up when he saw their smiles.

Rose poured two glasses of water and placed one in front of William, “Is there any urgent matters that brought you here at this hour?”

William was not a brash person. His personality was good and very capable, that’s why everybody was impressed by him.

“Rose, I just can’t accept this.” William was a little embarrassed, “I can’t understand why things can get to the extent that you are willing to give up everything here and leave.”

“I’m from City H and all my relatives are over there. My grandmother is already very old and wishes for my presence. What’s even more important is there are some issues that require me to attend to.” Rose looked very stern and serious.
