"Please do have your steward send us an order if you need us again," Miranda muttered, taking Sofia's free hand as they were escorted out of the palace by the royal guards.
She took notice of the eight-year-old's face of disappointment and gently stroked her hair as they walked down the bridge away from the palace.

Sofia frowned, snuggling close to her mother's side.
"I just wanted a dad again Mom but it won't happen, will it?"
"Maybe. But whoever I find, they'll have to respect you too. We're a team Sofia," Miranda smiled, patting her head. "And we'll always be that way."
"With or without you finding love," Sofia smiled softly, her disappointment vanishing.
