I hear murmurs around me. My eyelids are heavy and I struggle to open them. 

"Mia, wake up."

"Mom?" I mumble. I open my eyes and breathe a sigh of relief. It was just a dream. My father is not here. He's nowhere to be found. "Why am I on the kitchen floor?"

"You... fell, Mia. Look, your father wants to bond with you."

My chest tightens. "Where is he?" I breathe. 

She frowns. "He's behind you."

I sit up quickly and hold my head as a wave of dizziness rushes over me. I turn around as soon as the walls stand still. "Why are you here?"

He smiles softly. Kindly. Tears pool in my eyes. "Like your mother said," he replies, "I'm here to bond with you."

I shake my head. "Your a lame excuse for a father."

And with that, I run out of the house.
