From the moment he had stepped off the plane in England, Samrat had visibly changed, his face and posture finally relaxed. He was a different man in London - he could tell that even his daughter sensed it as she cooed up at him, her small face bright and interested in the things that they passed. He pushed her a little higher on his waist as he knocked on Phillip's door, his arm strong as it held her steady, to keep her from rocking away.
He wondered what the other man would say - he hadn't, after all, announced his coming. It had been precipitated by yet another fight at home.
( God can wait, as everyone told me before. ) |
