She tugs on the back of his plain shirt. “ Dad, Can we play with the kite” She whines.
“ Stop whining Elodie” He moans and continues to tap away at his computer. Elodie sighs, and turns away. wishing she had a friend. She prepares her hand to tap at her Dads back. But he notices and shoos her away. Again she turns away. Her heart is full of loneliness. “ But Dad it’s my birthday” The father moans and looks at his daughter in dismay. “ only this once OK El…” he doesn’t get to finish his sentence because Elodie is already calling his name from outside of the door. He stands up and begins to walk away from his work.
