"That sounds really nice." She smiled. If she was Annie's age, she'd probably like it a lot too. "But there's nothing quite like getting something right from your dad."
She ducked her head a little, pulling back a stray hair. "I'm sure it sounds a little silly, but it's like... You go to your mom for hugs, but you know your dad will be there no matter what to protect you."
"My dad made me this keychain once from those little beads you iron to make stuff. It looked so bad." Liz laughed a little, mostly from the stupid memory. "It was supposed to be a heart with his initial on one side and mine on the other, but he did it backwards and it didn't make any sense. Instead of saying J L it looked like a U. It was really lame."
Liz was smiling though. "But I carried it around with me for years."
She paused, then realized here she was talking about her dad when Peter's wasn't around. Her smile faltered. "Sorry."
