He was looking on at this beautiful girl as she lay on the couch - she was the most lovely thing he had ever seen. She was small with light skin against dark hair and red lips. As he sat down next to her, her hair smelt like coconut shampoo. She was everything, everything he could have ever wanted.
"Where did you come from sweetie?"
"Not far from here. I was actually born in the next town. How about you?"
"Oh - I was born far, far away. I'm just travelling through."
She curled up and watched the telly on the other side of the room. "I love Tom and Jerry. I know they're old but they're so funny!!"
He just laughed. "They're what I remember from when I was a kid. But time flies. They are still loved."
He decided to leave her alone and let her be in peace. Her parents had disappeared, her other older family members had deserted her. He was the only one left. He could only hope to have the privilege` of being allowed to raise her in the years left of her childhood...
