If I can stop one heart from breaking
If I can ease one life the aching
If I can ease one life the aching
It's a sweet sentiment, one that makes Harper smile, but he shakes his head slightly all the same even as he hugs her back just as tightly. "I'm sure you can, but you shouldn't have to. It's my job to take care of you, just as it's my job to take care of Jude. Some things parents are meant to deal with alone or with their support network." Not that he has much of one, but Hadama has listened to many of his woes, what was one more? So long as he doesn't make the same mistake as he did with Jude. And sure, it makes it plain he sees her as a daughter, but he doesn't care about keeping that secret.
But there are pancakes and pictures to contend with that even hugs and sentimentality can't overshadow. Hungry stomachs have no use for emotions after all. So Harper happily hands over the entire album for her to peruse, content to share happy memories until the moment they can eat.

I shall not live in vain
