Chapter 233

• About a week later, my daughter was finally due to come visit. She was coming to spend a week with me, right before starting the new semester of college. I prepared two berths for them, even though I was pretty sure one would just be a glorified closet. I also went to the store to make sure my galley was as stocked as it could be. I picked them up at Honolulu Intl., and would fly them to my home on Moloka'i in the seaplane.
• When I saw them come out through security, I ran to her and gave her a squashing hug. I missed her so much, and told her so. "Maddy, my god I have missed you." I looked at her girlfriend, and smiled. "And who is this lovely lady?"
• "Dad, this is my girlfriend, Sarah Jones. Sarah, this is my dad."
