Erin in the garden, OTA/MW Wednesday night
Erin was walking out in the garden, leash in one hand and phone in the other. She'd let Amelia go wandering off, but within sight, as she talked to her father.
"Yes, Dad, I know. But I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. Especially not with tomorrow so close." She said, knowing it was always tradition for her to call her father for Veteran's Day. He might not wear the uniform any more, but he'd worn it long enough.
There was a long pause on Erin's end and should somebody be standing close, she'd be concerned about them overhearing. A quick glance around revealed that nobody else was out. Probably because it was freezing and if she wasn't walking the dog, she wouldn't be out here either. Then he said something that made her stomp her foot, completely offended by what was said. "No Daddy. I love him and it doesn't matter." Then she bit her lip to fight back tears as the voice on the other end of the line raised. "He makes me happy, that's all that should matter to you."
Amelia ran off, chasing something, but Erin didn't see. She plopped down on one of the benches on the path, feeling like absolute shit again. "Yes, Sir. I understand. Goodnight." She said, hand dropping as she pressed the end button on her phone. If it weren't a new one, she'd chuck it, she thought. Then she realized Amelia had run off where she couldn't see and got up to go after the pup, tear streaked face, sniffling nose and all.
