Tall, toned beyond any reason. He wore his favorite red hunting shirt, and his long black hair tied back in a billowing ponytail.
"Papa?" She called and reached out to him.
"Little Papillon." He called her by the nickname he'd given her as a child. The one simple French word meant the sun, moon and stars to her. Just as quickly as he appeared, he vanished with the sand in the wind.
