Prologue

Amy Dumas got out of her small, white Toyota. She went to the back seat of the car and unbuckled the little girl that sat in a car seat. She lifted her out of the car, shutting the door behind, and took her small hand in hers.

"Are we going to visit Daddy?" the little girl said. She swung Amy's arm playfully as the approached their destination.

Amy smiled sadly. She stopped her daughter and kneeled down to look at her. "Yes, baby, we are."

"Is Daddy coming home with us this time?" she asked.

"No," she said as she held her tears back, "Evonne, he isn't. He won't be coming back with us ever again. But it's good to go and talk to him."

Evonne nodded a little bouncing her jet black curls at the same time. She did not completely understand the situation; but took Amy's word for it. "Okay, Mommy." They resumed their walk.

They finally reached their goal and paused a little before sitting down on the grassy knoll cross legged. She pulled Evonne to sit with her on her lap. They both had on blue jeans that were graced with greenish stains, while their white short sleeved shirt had ice cream spots all over it; thanks to some earlier mischievous fun in a park that day.

Her right hand caressed the black and blue marble plaque that sat in front of her. "Why did you leave me?" she whispered. A tear slid down her face as she started to trace the letters that were craved into the marble.

Three weeks had passed since that night. The night the love of her life was killed in a car accident and left their family alone. Leaving Amy heartbroken and without the love of her life; at the same time Evonne without her father.

Evonne glanced at her mother with a worried expression. Her small hand moved to Amy's cheek and wiped the tear away. "Don't cry Mommy."

Amy looked at her daughter and kissed her cheek lovingly. Then she stared at the solid gold band that adorned her left ring finger. "I will always love you. You're the one and only for me... I'll never forget you."

She leaned down and kissed the marble plaque, tracing the letters of his name again. "I love you."

Evonne stood from her mother's lap. She bent over and kissed the plaque too. "I love you Daddy."

"We both love you very much," Amy said as she also stood up from the ground. She took Evonne's hand in hers and picked her up to carry her back to the car.

"I miss him Mommy," Evonne said.

"I do too, baby. I do too."
