"You look sad, Star." My father's voice faltered just a little. "Is it something that I said?"
"No, I think I am just remembering so much of the past right now. It is not an easy tale to tell." I wanted to prepare him for what was to come. If he heard this unprepared then I didn't know what he would do.
"I will be fine, child. I will brace myself for any hard parts that you might have to tell me."
I swallowed hard and sat on the couch in the study, and my father followed me calmly and sat next to me. He was facing me, not exactly eagerly, but I still don't think that he was fully prepared for what was going to happen here. However, I sighed and told him.
