Enos smiled "Like I said she wanted to publish it, but then your Grandpa died and she wasn't sure if the memory would tear her up or not." -
(awww . . .reminds me of a strange story I need to tell you when my email starts behaving) So Daisy settled back down, clutching the infant close to her. Daisy tried to go to sleep but only managed to lay with her eyes open and eventually started humming a tune.
-
Enos smiled "I thought you would."
-
Enos nodded and grabbed his hat and headed out the door.
-
Enos slapped himself "Oh right. . .Daisy I don't know where my head has been the last few days."
-
Enos smiled and began reading Lily one of the stories about Daisy and her cousins and Uncle Jesse.
-
The reality dawned on him "Oh okay. . .I'll drive you home and then. . .maybe I can drive you to the Boar's Nest for your job."
-
Enos smiled "An adventure type one. Your mama wrote it when we were younger and hoped she'd publish it one day, but I always keep it with me."
-
Suddenly Enos got an idea and pulled out a thick notebook that he took with him everywhere "Lily, you want me to read you a story?" he asked.
-
"What you wanna do now?" Enos asked.
-
Enos sighed silently to himself. He hated seeing his daughter this upset and wished he could do something about it.
-
(hey no need to apologize sis I love when you point out things like that about Daisy) Enos could only smile.
-
"Well I guess I'll see you later" Doc said, but gave Lily a little bit of medicine for her condition before he left.
-
(I know I think we've mentioned that at least two times already, but hey some things you have to love about Daisy) Enos smiled sighing "Daisy, I know that, but really I can handle it. I have faith in Lulu that she ain't going to let that happen."
-
Doc smiled nodding "Now that's much better. And it will Lily, it just might take awhile."
-
Enos smiled "You're not difficult Daisy. You're passionate about what you believe in."
-
Doc smiled putting the locket back in its place "Faith in what sweetie?"
-
Enos took a bite of his breakfast trying to think of what to say "Well, like that I want to be there for you forever, and that I love you and. . .well I've got a list."
-
"Well." Enos began slowly "That day, somehow I realizeed there were things about you. . .I mean I could never imagine me saving you, but when I did I realized a million things about you I hadn't before."
-
Doc smiled "I know it will. . .I used to have" he took a locket from his pocket and opend it showing Lily "That was my love. . .she died before your parents were born and the pain never goes away, but it has gotten much better for me."
-
Doc nodded, a carring, understanding look in his eye "Well, it'll get better after time eventhough I know it doesn't seem like it now."
-
Enos sat down with his own food and looked at her "Daisy, I hope you understand what all this means to me. . .I know this sounds dumb but eversince. . .well do you remember that day at the pond?"
-
Doc nodded and sat on the bed beside Lily "okay sweetie, I want you to tell me what's on your mind right now. . .I know you have to be missing your mama and I'm guessing you still aren't over your dad's condition. . .am I right?"
-
Enos smiled "I reckon I didn't, but" he shrugged looking down, blushing "Well, you do so much for me Daisy."
-
After what seemed like no time at all Daisy woke up to a wonderful smell of something cooking. She sat up, got dressed and went into the kitchen.
