It was the top of my father’s head. I    33 then, each time I came home, he would stand behind the hedge, watching,    34 he knew I had arrived safely. I held back my tears. He did care,   35 .
Upon reaching home, I found my father innocently in his chair. “So! It’s you!” he said, his face lengthening into surprise.
