Eliza sat at her desk playing with her fingers. For a while she watched through her hair children leave to go to their parents. She'd listen to happy cries of joy and the iconic baby talk parents, mothers, gave their children.  She'd listen and just get sadder and sadder. But she never knew why. Nor did she bother to talk about why. The little 7 year old girl would just sit there and play with her thumbs or crinkle her nose because she liked the feeling of it.<br/><br/>Soon enough she was the last child in the class and the second to last person in the class. Heading some shuffling she looked up for the first time in thirty minutes and hoped to see her dad in front of her. Maybe holding an ice cream and apologizing for being so late. But no. Instead she found herself looking into an open space with sad deep brown eyes. Seconds later she herd a voice and looked over. "Was that you moving around...?" Eliza asked, her voice soft, quite and drowned out to near silence by the red scarf around her neck and mouth.<br/><br/>When Finn reassured her that her father was coming soon she wanted to laugh. Usually he was  fortyfive minutes to and hour late, an hour and five minutes on bad day. So she didn't let Finn's reassurance fill her with hope. Well she tried not to. Being as little as she was..Eliza couldn't help it. Even if she knew..with every fiber of her young growing body, that something was wrong she would find a reason to hope that it was right.<br/><br/>Sitting next to Finn in silence for a minute or two she finally spoke again. "Draw a mermaid..?" Eliza asked, moving the fabric of the red scarf from her mouth so that her voice was actually audible.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

  given how Finn never met Alex I'm taking the liberty of making Eliza look little to nothing like her dad besides the hair color lol. Make some confusion when he comes to get her.</div>
