Elwood bit his lower lip hard at Eljay's apology. It wasn't what he wanted to hear; he didn't want to shame his son or make him feel bad for the way he was coping with his emotions. But it seemed that Eljay didn't know what else to do or say. He had always defaulted to apologizing, and any anger Elwood had felt seeped away and was replaced with sadness.

"It's okay, buddy," he said quietly, shifting closer to Eljay and bumping his shoulder gently with his own. "She'll be back. She always comes back. And when she does, we'll have a big family feast or something to celebrate." He could only hope that when Finley returned, it would be with Lucy in tow.
