He knew there was always the possibility that Cambria would fall into a drug habit again. Oh, but what if she longed for it again? After she'd gotten into the cocaine, and when she was suffering from such horrid withdrawals, the young father had almost wished to give her more to make her pain stop. But he'd never, ever do that to her. Or else today she probably would not be standing next to him, so carelessly flying this kite he'd brought her. He was so grateful that Cam had not become resentful toward himself and her mother for not giving her more powder when her body had thought it needed it. That she'd been too young to think this far into the course of a possible addiction.
He watched her take the spool and string, making the kite do a pretty swoop in the sky. Awesome, he said softly. Here's one more thing; he said, gently taking the spool in his hands. The kite leveled out and stalled in the sky. Kansas moved his hands with his words so Cambria could get a grasp on what to do if she wanted to try this trick. Tug on the string to make it turn flat on its, uh, "belly," then walk forward and... pull the string a little more, The kite had flipped upside down, and as he walked forward a few feet and pulled on the slack string, it spun around belly-up like spinning top. The pale man turned and jogged back to Cambria, offering her the spool again. Just play around with it. I'll watch. He grinned and folded his arms across his chest, calm eyes never leaving his bright little girl. The sun shone through her chocolate fur, and she positively glowed. It was the most wonderful thing he'd ever looked at. |
