The silence in the room was deafening. Each person trying to formulate their thoughts to words.
“I miss mom” Mia said suddenly, causing her fathers tears to flow from his eyes.
“She would know exactly what to do” the king agreed, getting up to envelop his daughter in a hug. They stood there together, letting their tears fall gently onto one another’s shoulders.
The others stood in silence.
“I think I need to go to Maverick myself” Mia said suddenly. She looked around the room at the surprised faces. “Not by myself” she added. She turned to Lukas. “I’m not sure if you should come my love” she told him softly.
Lukas tried not to look offended but he obviously was.
Mia touched his arm. “You lost so much to him” she told him.
“I wanted to be the one to show you my homeland”
