He had always considered the garden his sanctuary. Now, the sight of his daughter, Lily, amongst the blossoming flowers and vegetable rows filled him with a new, dizzying sensation. She had become totally absorbed in horticulture, pouring over seed catalogs, and tending to her plants with a devotion that seemed to eclipse everything else.

He walked over and saw her hunched over a rose bush, snipping away dead leaves. The way her brow was furrowed, the care she showed her plants. He thought he could watch her all day. His heart, for no reason, began to race, a feeling of pride and something else he couldn't quite identify.

"Need a hand, Lily-pad?"

"Not yet, Dad."

He swallowed, staying there, and feeling the warmth of the sun on his face.
