I'm a little leary of reading shorts like this. I like longer stories that have more room for plot and character development, however, I must say that this was very well written. The descriptive language was beautiful. The author did a great job of creating the setting and the intensity between the unnamed characters.At the beginning I found it weird that the characters never broke eye contact, especially when they were walking down the street or upstairs to his loft, but in the case of this story, it worked. It made it slightly awkward and very vulnerable. I felt I was in the moment feeling them opening up to one another even though they never verbally spoke aloud.I thought the ending worked. It was bittersweet. But the authors note at the end explaining why he wrote it the way he did did a great job of justifying it. I liked that there's a little mystery and we don't know how the relationship between the man and his daughter will progress.I liked the story. Great descriptive writing  Not a bad way to spend half an hour.
