I smiled.
I loved this city.
I went into my dad's apartment building and rode the elevator to the 10th floor.
I walked into the apartment and my dad tackled me with a big hug :) .
"Alia!" he said. "I'm so glad you came!"
He smiled.
"Now help me pack," he said.
We packed and packed and packed until my dad asked me something.
"Can you go to the Hilton and pick up some towels from the front desk?" He grinned mischeviously. "I love those towels."
As soon as he saw the worried look on my face he assured me, "Don't worry, I ordered them!"
"That makes more sense," I laughed.
I went.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I came back and gave my dad the towels.
I stayed with him for awhile more.
"Dad, I have to leave," I said. "Mr D only allows a day away from camp."
I hugged him and walked to the bus station, where Argus was waiting for me.
I got in and waved to my dad, my eyes misting.
