next time

I was feeling dizzy and knackered.

When I tried to sit upright to go to the washroom, I found myself unable to do so.

Papa was nearby. I raised my hands to signal I needed support from him.

He thought I needed a hug.

And he gave me a warm one.

It was unexpected, but precious.

However I made a mistake in letting him know I only intended to signal for help.

I should have avoided saying so.
