A Reassurance of Love

I’ve not been a good father, Olive. I never should have raised my hand to you. I’d cut off that hand if it meant you’d forgive me, come back to me. Life hasn’t been easy without your mother. She was always the smart one. Every decision I make without her scares me. But I don’t love crafting glass more than I love you. Crafting glass was just easier. And I am a lazy fool. I took the easier path. Maybe you were right to leave. But would you come back and forgive your ailing father? - M. Barovier
