I continued walking leaving him alone there. I sigh as a lone tear escaped my eyes, I gasp for air as I tried to shake off the frustrating feeling.
I walk towards the entertainment room, this brings back the times where we would always just stare at each other when we crossed paths.

I look around and saw a lot of flowers and butterflies. I look at him in the eyes as my eyes began to tear."Father, I'm sorry," I whispered, hugging him. He felt so real, I grip him tightly as I close my eyes. I heard him laugh and then pat my back, calming me. "Shh," he whispered. I gasp for air as I let go of him and then look at his face closely.

I suddenly remembered what he was into before he confessed his feelings and saying wanting this to work."I'm sorry about yesterday," he apologized, that's just it-- I was waiting for him to say that he lied, admitting to what he has done but it's impossible because he didn't know what I know. I chuckled and look at him directly in the eyes."What exactly are you apologizing, Anthon?"
