When There Is Nothing Left But Love

My mind went completely blank. I gave it a thought and said, “We’ll be back every now and then. Perhaps we’ll make a trip back during the next festive season.”

Michael smiled when he heard that. “Then, Daddy and I will be waiting for you and Summer to come back to R Province to celebrate the festive seasons!”

For a moment, I was flustered because I almost forgot there was another joyous occasion around the corner. Seconds later, I nodded and said, “Summer and I will be back soon.”

The children were equally thrilled when they heard my words of assurance.

On the other hand, Colin, who had been quiet all this while, broke the silence and queried, “Are you going to K City?”

Shaking my head, I stated, “Not for the time being.”

I never had the chance to bring Summer back to J City when she was an infant. Now that she was slightly older, I wanted to bring her back to visit Macy. I felt quite lost because I never mentioned Macy over the years.

Summer snuggled in my arms after we bade farewell over the meal and made our way home. She was melancholic because we would be leaving soon.

After I tucked her in, I called Ashton.
