Advertis.e.m.e.nt"I don't want to force you to take about it . " Ellie looked away . "I know in comparison we're very lucky .  I had my dad in my life for a longer amount of time . I got to know all about him .  Nolan takes after him a lot more than I did . He liked teaching university cla.s.ses in his free time .  Sometimes after school me and Nolan would pile into his office while he was practicing his lectures . He loved to teach us .  I think some of my fondest childhood memories were in that times when we would be in the room and lecture to us . Dad would let us ask whatever ridiculous question we wanted .  Sometimes he would know the answer and when he wouldn't we could open his seventy volume encyclopedia and go look for it . You know that was before everyone had the internet so easy in their hands .  I really adored being the apple of his eye when we had him . You know you don't appreciate it really until it's gone .

It had been a long time since Henry had looked at her like that .  He eyes were far away like he was seeing something she couldn't see .  She wanted to touch him, but she waited .

Like lighting, Henry had been drawn back into his past--he could remember amber eyelids that blinked as she painted a petal with metallic paint .  The drop of liquid gold bent down and then backwards, before Henry could see Ellie's face swim into his vision again . He could smell almonds and vanilla faintly as well as coco b.u.t.ter .  He felt warm for a second as moisture began to swell in the corner of his eyes . He wipes them quickly before gathering himself . "I'm really happy that you're childhood was warm . Your father seems a lot kinder than I thought for a race car driver to be his daughter .  You must have been much different from his other children . "

"Oh, did Chou tell you? Yes, I do have some older step siblings .  They are quite different from me . I'd always compare them to vultures who just wanted to take everything away from anyone they could get their hands on .  I used to pretend I wasn't related to them when I was a child as they were nasty at school . We were such different people . " Ellie mused . "As it's common in Asia, my grandparents arranged my father's marriage to a close family friend .  They wanted to join their two houses in some sort of predestinated bond . You know the sort of thing where they hire a fortune teller and have star charts read? My father had a very auspicious marriage by that account . I don't believe in it and neither did my mother .  My mom was a firecracker . She did whatever she wanted and was sure to be completely independent of her family . She didn't accept any dowry or gifts, she just took my father on their wedding day . As you could guess, they were very well matched . He would always say that mom swept him off his feet . "
