"eh, なに?what do you mean?"
Midori never moved her eyes from the trees ahead
just spoke calmly
"i mean, where do you live?
who do you live with?
you've never really told me..."
she clasped her hands together around her knees
and finally looked towards me.
i escaped her gaze and glanced down at my legs crossed below me
i took in a breath,
"it's just Otousan and me.
we're not too far from here."
Midori nodded and didn't ask any questions
instead she suggested we head home
before it got dark.
i nodded.
as we parted ways a little further on from the park
i managed to say
"um, you could always come for supper sometime...you know
and meet my dad."
Midori smiled
"i'd love that."
then i watched her wave goodbye and walk down the road
until she was out of sight.
