"When is Mama coming home?"
Dom scooped his daughter up in his arms, running his hand over her dark hair, the only thing she had inherited from him. "She's not, sweetie."
She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"She's not coming home."
"Do we have to go get her?"
"We can't, honey."
"Where is she?"
"The Peaceful Realms."
She seemed to think about this. "We can't go get her?"
"No, sweetie."
"And she's never coming back?"
"She can't."
Understanding dawned on her face. "She's gone." Dom nodded. "I miss her," she told him.
"I miss her too."
