"Hey mom," I said softly.
"Emma" she breathed, sounding relief from the phone.
"I'm fine Mom, don't worry" I assured her, it seemed like everything I did always put her in constant fear.

"I'm sorry" I sighed heavily as I closed my eyes.
"Don't be sorry honey, I know one day when you have a child of your own you will see just how difficult it is" she mused. "Jesus I think I'm more traumatized about mini Dace walking around than not seeing you anymore"
