What lies ahead

Sierra woke up the next day and seeing the house empty, she flinched. It wasn't usual for her father to not come back. He missed staying in the house at night but he always returned early in the morning. In the end, she gave up on the idea of worrying about him and made breakfast for herself when someone knocked. She walked to the door purposefully after putting her apron aside. It was Elijah.

"Wow, good morning! I didn't you would come at me this morning. What? Did you miss me already?"

"I believe," he started smelling the fine scent of the bread cooking in the oven. "I believe that all things of importance in a man's life must be done beneath the open sky. I want to know your decision."
