"Kinda?" He said. "I was pelting down this hill, I'm like 8 or 9, legs going round like mad. There's a deep, I'm airborne, then i realise there's this tree right in front of me. Turning and brakes, for some reason, didn't work."

"Yeah," he said. "Had to go to hospital, though. Concussion. Did a header into the tree over the handle bars."

"Alright." Right... guess conversation wasn't something he wanted to partake in.

"Mother was dedicated, to her craft, me, father and kept balance between us all. Father was a typical watcher, but he was torn between treating me like a daughter verses a potential. Lines get blurred sometimes when two things that were meant to get separate suddenly collide."
