Send me away with the words of a love song

His father's voice reached him through what felt like a fog, creaking and sounding as he remembered him as an old man and yet the gentle tune carried him to images of his childhood, of playing with Allegro and Novel, of days spent with his mother. It summoned images of the melancholic way his father would sometimes gaze off into the distance too, of the night he told his children in soft tones of their older sister. Where she was he had no way of knowing... The tune eventually drifted to an end and Octave felt the chill creeping in closer.

"I can't remember when I last told him I loved him." He said, Octave's mind returning to Kite nearly instantly. "Do you think he knows?" He knew his father could not know but he couldn't keep his fears inside anymore, he wanted no more regrets than he was already going to have.
