Memories
Chapter 1-Introduction
The woman looked at the clock for the fifth time that night. It was 11:30 pm. The only noise she could hear was her daughter's gentle breathing as she lay there in deep slumber on her mothers lap.
It was a week until it was her daughters fifth birthday. Her father had been away the past month at work. He had promised that he was coming back tomorrow. She looked down at her daughter again stroking her daughter's black raven hair. Her daughter had been so excited tonight she couldn't sleep. Her mother had spent ages trying to get her to sleep. Finally she tipped her head back and fell into deep slumber.
She was awaken by the sound of her daughters voice.
"Mummy. Mummy, wake up." She opened an eye to see her daughter sat on her knee shaking her slightly. "Mummy. Mummy. Daddy's coming home today."
She opened her eyes whilst memories were flooding back to her head and stiffly got off the sofa, which she'd fallen asleep on. Her husband, General Caraway, was coming back today.
"Come on, Rinoa. You're not meeting your dad until later on." She picked up her daughter and took her to her room to get dressed.
They stood at the train station to meet with her father. After a few minutes of waiting a familiar face came out of one of the trains that had just arrived.
"Daddy! You're back!" Rinoa ran from her mother to hug her father.
"It's nice to see you again." General Caraway said while picking up his daughter and turned to his wife.
"You said you'd be gone two weeks but you end up going for a month. Rinoa missed you."
General Caraway turned to his wife and took a step closer to her. "I'm sorry Julia. They needed me there to help."
She turned her head towards him and smiled. "You can make it up to by helping me get the last few bits ready for Rinoa's birthday."
"Of course I will."
"Good."
She smiled and then gave him a hug before they headed back to the mansion.
