The Upside Down (For Eluuna)

She crawled into the bed, burying her head in the pillow to block out the light, and fell asleep almost instantly.

 

(Hoop!)

 

She came in, carrying a cup of tea.

“Hey, Zaddy...”

 

She nodded sleepily, offering him the tea.

“Mmhm...”

 

“I felt like you should have tea,” she said sleepily. “Ready to go?”

 

“I just woke up,” she said with a yawn, running her fingers through her hair.

 

She frowned, tilting her head.

“I’m gonna try it again with or without you, Zaddy,” she said playfully. “You might as well come along.”

 

“I’m alright.”

 

She gestured with her head.

“Ready to go?”

 

She headed towards the courtyard, slipping her hands in her pockets.
