"When we are alone you can cry. You can always come to me anytime no matter what." She cupped my face in her hands. "Remember Alora, I will always keep your secrets. I will always be your safe space, okay?" I nodded, laying down on her lap as I cried.
"Elena, do you love me?"
"Yes, I love you." She laughed. "What a silly question."
"Daddy says there is no room for love in our world." I looked at the picture next to my bed. Mom and dad are in a hospital bed, both looking down at me. I ran my finger across mom's face. She was so pretty, with a huge smile on her face. Her hair is dark brown just like mine. "Do you think she loved me?"
"Your mom loved you more than anything in the world." She rested her hand on my cheek. "You look so much like her."
"Did she love my daddy?"
"She did love your daddy. And he loved her very much too."
"Then why doesn't he love me? Why does he say there is no room for love?"
"Your daddy was sad when your mommy died." She kissed my forehead. "I’ll tell you what, what if I take you to dress shopping today? How does that sound?"
I looked up at her. "Ice cream too?"
She laughed. "Yes, ice cream too."
