CHAPTER 23: Finally some progress...

Celeste

After talking to Daddy earlier in the day, I knew I had some big decisions to make. I end up spending the entire day in my room thinking. When I say the entire day, I mean, the entire day. Daddy got worried about me when I didn't come down for dinner, and he hadn't seen me at lunchtime either, so he brought dinner up to me. I think it was more a reason to stop in and check on me than anything, but once he was satisfied that I wasn't an emotional wreck, he excused himself to give me my space. He did insist that I eat though.

I bring the food over to my desk, and eat while I returned e - mails. I didn't realize how hungry I really was until I took that first delicious bite. Oh, I love that man so much right now. What would I do without him? Just as I'm about to take the last bite, my phone rings on the nightstand. I put my fork down and trot across the room.
