We flew over the ocean, none of us said a word to each other. It had been like this for a few hours.
Puff occasionally glanced back at me with a worrying look at first, I guessed he expected me to tell him to turn back but after a while, when I did no such thing, he stopped glancing back. I was not sure where we were going but it certainly was not east. My tears had dried up and I was just staring into space.
I did not feel anything, nothing at all. I did not want to. I just wanted to forget it, to dump it into one of my many buried memories.
I rested my head against Puff's back and hugged him tightly. He did not look back, he just flew on.
"Go east, Puff." I whispered, though I was not sure he would hear me. But he swerved and turned east so he definitely heard me.
I did not want to stay in this slump for a long time, I wanted to get over it quickly. The whole reason I started this journey was for my dad, I wanted to heal him. I just wanted to heal him.
