Summary
Violet slipped through the door just after midnight, careful to make no noise, boots left in the hallway. She paused at the threshold, glancing down at her daughter, and I could see it in her eyes—equal parts relief and guilt.
“She’s asleep,” I said softly, watching Fenna’s tiny hands curl over the blanket.
Violet nodded, crouching beside the bed. Her fingers hovered over Fenna’s hair, brushing back a stray curl without touching her face too harshly. “Oh… she really misses me,” she whispered.
“She did well, considering,” I said, taking a deep breath, “that she threw a tantrum and made me reconsider the thought if flying into battle or trying to calm an agitated toddler was more fearful.”
