He inhales a long train of smoke and, after a pause, lets it out in a thin wisp. Elijah knows Billy hates the habit, so he keeps to the side just out of sight. He has contented himself by watching the Scot as he plays some childish game with a friend's daughter.

The one thing he wants more than anything is the one thing Elijah can't give him.

The look in his eyes when Billy sees happy couples pass by with their children is indescribable. If it is possible, it's a mixture of happiness, warmth.. and underlying sadness. He'll look back to Elijah and just smile his reassuring smile, fooling the world with his sarcastic manner.

He doesn't fool Elijah.

Billy calls his name, the child perched securely on his shoulders, her little hands tangling in his hair.

Elijah butts out his cigarette and steps forth from behind the brick wall, plastering a practiced smile on his lips, praying against hope that the game will last another day.
