As morning broke, Charlotte was still slumbering away. Ellie barged into the room and leaped into her arms.

“Ellie!” Charlotte awoke with a shock. Before she could react, Ellie cupped her face and peppered it with kisses. Charlotte’s face dripped with saliva as Ellie exclaimed, “I missed you so much, Mommy!”

“I missed you too! My good girl, I won’t leave you again.” Charlotte hugged Ellie tightly.
