Simon have never been such a present parent since… that day. Day he keeps remembering every single night. Day he remembers by just looking at your face. It reminded him so much of her that he grew even more distant with you.

He wasn’t there most of the time, your babysitters or even the old lady in the next door was more a parent than him. He regrets it, but it was already too late.

He knew it, and all he could do was stare while you did your homework in the living room.
