“A king. A queen. A princess. A rock and an ear of corn.
Those we have lost walk alongside us, their memory warming our scarred hearts.
We are those we loved.
I tilt my face to the sky and let the sun brush warm fingers over it. The soft rays are a comfort embrace like an old friend.

This draws a giggle from Kit and that ceaseless look of reverence from Kai.
I smile back, just as Adena taught me to.
This life is sweet.
Like honey.”

“The world’s gonna fuck with your kid no matter what. All you can do is teach ’em to brush their teeth and love themselves.”
