“Mother! Mother!"
I turn around from the hydrangeas of this greenhouse and turn to my young daughter running towards me. She's such an energetic child, so much so that sometimes I worry for her… and yet at the same time, I wonder how I was able to give birth to someone so beautiful.
“Yes, Cerise?" I ask before handing the freshly cut hydrangeas to my nursemaid.
“Mother, is it true that Father will be coming back tomorrow?" My daughter asks me, and I nearly tense at her question.
Still, I give her a smile. “Yes, that's right." I say.
She smiles so beautifully, it shows just how much energy she has within such a small body.
“And-" suddenly she's a little shy. “And Father will also bring back Elder Brother, and my… My Elder Sister, right?"
The subject I've been dreading.
“... Yes
