CHAPTER XXVII

More out of a desire to see her happy than out of my own mental exhaustion, I let Sarah drive home from her own home, only to be ordered to keep Nova in my lap all the way.

"Is this necessary?"I asked for the third time making a gesture towards the cuddly toy.

My girl's raised eyebrow was enough of an answer to make me decide to shut up the rest of the way.

"That's the way I like it."

When we arrived at my house Sarah put the car in the garage, automatically noticing the absence of my father's car.

"David?" asked Sarah as she grabbed Nova from my arms and entered the house while I dragged the small suitcase.

"Well I can't tell you, by now the truth he should be here," I said as I left the suitcase at the foot of the stairs and entered the kitchen, immediately seeing a note stuck to the fridge "Faculty meeting, he's late" I reported out loud.
