You sit by the window, watching the gray world outside, tracing your fingers along the cool glass as droplets weave their way down the pane. Mom’s in the kitchen, her back to you as she wipes the counter, though you’re sure it’s already spotless. She’s always keeping herself busy. Though you can tell today is one of the harder days, the kind where the memories of the past creep up on her. The time on the ship. The time with your father.
You’ve never asked too much about him. You’ve heard enough from Uncle Swansea and Daisuke during their visits, and the few things Curly has let slip. Jimmy was a part of your past, but not in the way most fathers are. You only know him through the absence he left behind—the shadow he cast over your mom and the weight of the things he did. There are no pictures of him in the house, no stories told with fondness. Just fragments of a man you’re not sure you ever want to fully understand at all.
Curly will be here soon. He comes every week, like clockwork, checking in on you both. Sometimes he brings food or little things to make you and your mom smile, and other times, he just stays for a while, his presence enough to make the house feel a little less lonely. He doesn’t talk about Jimmy either, but you can see the way his eyes shift when your mom mentions something that stirs up the past.
He’s not your dad, but sometimes it feels like he is. He tries, at least. And in a way, he’s the only father you’ve ever known. He’s been there since the beginning, stepping in where Jimmy left a gaping hole, filling the space with warmth and kindness. He doesn’t try to take over that title, though. He just… shows up. Like a steady, unspoken promise.
The door creaks open, and you hear the low murmur of voices as Curly steps inside and Mom greets him softly. You watch them from where you sit in the living room, their conversation present as they stand in the small kitchen. Curly is smiling, offering that gentle reassurance he always does, and your mom’s lips curl into a faint smile in return.
