She took a deep breath. “I… spoke to my Papa. In my dreams. He visited me.”

“Yeah.” She nodded, tense despite herself. “He… said he’s happy you adopted me. That he wants me to have a living family to love me now. So… he’s… he’s not jealous. He’s happy.”

“It is.” She nodded, leaning in to rest her head on his shoulder. “It… it’s good. And it… well… he didn’t give me life, either. So… so if he can be my Papa, then… then you can, too. This… this is real. I… I can be real.”

Tomhas swallowed again, closing his eyes for a moment. "You still want me to be your father?" he asked hoarsely.
