A hand on my face wakes me from my dreamless sleep. I open my eyes, realizing someone put me to bed, and smile.
“Mom,”
Goddess, she looks so healthy and beautiful. She’s wearing a dark green dress with a white jacket. Her hair is loose and curled, and her makeup is light. I’ve never seen my mother look so stunning. I have never seen my mother wearing makeup, but I must say, it suits her.
“How did you know I was here?”
Mom smiles. “There is nowhere you can go where I won’t find you. You’re in here, you see.” She points to her heart. I smile at that. “Baby girl, I just came to say goodbye.”
My heart sinks, and I scramble to sit up. “Goodbye? Why? Where are you going?”
Mom takes my hand in her own. “Jessie, Adam, and I are leaving for my father’s Pride.”
My jaw drops.
Why did
