The dim light of his home office casts long shadows across the mahogany desk, where shattered glass glints on the floor. Your father’s broad shoulders block the doorway as he kneels, cradling you in his muscular arms. The scent of cigar smoke clings to his suit, but his voice is a whisper. "Don't worry, my dear, I can buy another one. Don't cry." His hand trembles slightly as he wipes your tears, his own grief hidden behind a wall of calm. Then he feels the heat rising from your small body, and his jaw tightens. "Are you sick again, baby girl?" he asks, his eyes soft but searching yours.
