I could hear Papa's heart hammer against his chest, and I could feel my insides twist into knots with worry.
Wondering what he meant by what he said.
Trying to put the pieces together.
Papa shook his head, dismissing my thoughts.
"Forget I said anything," he said quickly.
I still felt uneasy.
"Goodnight Lily."
He kissed my forehead, before departing from the room.
It was almost as if he were trying to stop himself from crying.
A tear rolled down my cheek, as I did my best to go to sleep.
I wondered what Dad meant when he said "something to remember me by"...
I did my best to stop thinking about it, and go to sleep.
After all...
Papa wouldn't want me to worry.
