Peter was standing in his kitchen for the first time in a long time, staring at the cupboard where the tea was supposed to be. Only he wasn't staring at tea, he was staring at several appliances he'd never seen before in his life, or so he believed. He couldn't imagine what in the world the appliances were actually for. He knew they scared him... Caleb wandered in to the kitchen and he gave Peter a worried glance. "What are you looking for, Daddy?"

In her short life, which had been just twelve years in length, Lydia had been taken away from her home on three occasions. Technically four, if you wanted to count the time Peter removed her from her drug addled mother's neglect, upon finding the house foodless and in a state of disrepair. But the difference in that instance was of course, that Peter had asked Lydia if she wanted to leave with him. Her favourable answer had been immediate. Peter hadn't been around much in the beginning, being a priest, and the opportunity to go live with her beloved daddy whom she'd put up on a pedestal, was exactly what she'd been wanting for years. Being taken from that life once she had it, which was everything she'd been imagining and more, was devastating. Which was, of course, why Peter had provided her with a mobile phone even though he considered the things quite ludicrous. It made Lydia feel more secure knowing that she could contact her father in the instance that anything made her uncomfortable and he could come for her. It was like a security blanket which, granted, wouldn't do much good were it taken from her by anyone, but it provided some assurance nonetheless.
