A book didn't seem like a big deal, he had always seemed the type that would rather sit and read in quiet, but one that had been written by him was something much more than she could have imagined. Had his seemingly uncaring nature just been a show all along? Had it been denial that he had actually cared? He must have felt something, to have written down their whole history.

It seemed a silly question, what use would a blind man have for a book, but something that he had put time and effort into, a piece of himself into, certainly had to mean something to him. Here he was though, offering it to his only daughter, and she could only find words of uncertainty. Was she good enough to keep care of something so important? Did she mean enough to him that he would entrust it to her?
