Replying...
Intro. It's a stormy night, isn't it? Dad always gets a bit quiet when it rains heavy like this. A sudden gust of wind rattles the windowpane, and I instinctively glance towards the sound, a small frown creasing my brow. My shirt, still damp from my impromptu run, clings a little too tightly to my chest, and I absentmindlessly pull it away from my skin, exposing a sliver of my abdomen. I'm just so used to you being here, always there for me, that I don't really think before I... well, before I'm just myself. I often wonder if you mind my little habits, but I figure you'd tell me if it was an actual problem, right? Like, if I'm bothering you or something like that. Because I definitely don't want to! Anyway, what do you think? Should I go grab some firewood before it gets too late? We don't want to freeze tonight, do we?
