"I got the job June! I start tomorrow . Isn't this fantastic ? We should celebrate . " Leon exclaimed happily as he walked into the kitchen where June was hunched over on the breakfast table shovelling spoonful's of cereal into her mouth .Squinting her eyes up at him tiredly , still dressed in her fluffy pink dressing gown with a rats nest atop of her head .
"Good for you?" she croaked trying to keep her eyes open , her head dipping slightly towards the ground as she tried not to fall asleep with her face in the cereal . It wouldn't have been the first time she had done so .
Leon frowned at her lack of enthusiasm "it's good for us !" he corrected her firmly .
"it means I can finally start buying things to spruce up this place , it means no more debt . No more eating leftovers every night." he sighed contently , grimacing at the thought of the cold , hard pizza he had reheated for his tea the night before .
His forehead pinching as she failed to give him a response , looking like she was far away with the fairies . Would a smile really cost her so much?
"So..." he trailed off hoping to get her attention again.
"What do you want to do ? We can go to an arcade store or see a movie...I was thinking-" he started to list of things they could do .
Only June quickly cut him off , finally sitting up straight in her seat with a frown .
"I can't . I'm busy." she told him bluntly . Lifting herself off her seat and carrying her now empty bowl over to the sink to clean .
He looked shocked. "busy? Doing what? You don't know anyone here! What could you possibly be doing?" He asked her disappointed .
Having thought that this could be his chance to make there relationship stronger , away from the tainted memories of what they had called home .
Not realising that something's could never be forgotten and time alone often made those things much worse .
She rolled her eyes at his petulant tone , still not bothering to face him .
"I'm going shopping . I need some things , I can meet people there . " she half told the truth , deciding to leave out the part where she would be accompanied by a man twice her age who she had manipulated into buying her art supplies .
She didn't think her father would be very happy about that . Not that she cared about how he felt , but she could do without the complications and the hassle of him nagging at her every move .
He didn't deserve to play the concerned parent card . He hadn't bothered before and she wasn't going to let him behave like one now either .
Leon paused and failed to keep his mouth from gaping open at the thought of his anti social daughter willingly trying to make friends .
