A Mother’s Choice
MARY’S POV:
“Precisely.” Marl offered me a sharp, extremely satisfied smile. “You just have to remain patient through the whole process. Let him do all the talking. Let him explain his foolish thoughts. Let him dig himself deeper and deeper into his own pit. And by the time he is completely done boasting, you will hold every single piece of evidence you could ever need to crush him.”
Standing there, I thought deeply about my little girl Elowen. I pictured her soft face, her hopeful eyes, and the way she had promised me earlier that she would be brave for her mommy. I had to actively fight off the strong urge to pick up my phone and call her line again. I had already called her twice tonight, and every single time I heard her small voice through the speaker, my heart had ached with deep pain.
My daughter was far too sensible for a child her age. She did not cry loudly into the phone or ask me complicated questions about why I was not home. She simply kept repeating in her quiet voice that she missed me very much
“Mommy, when are you coming back home to stay with me?” she had asked, her tiny voice sounding so small and soft over the line.
“I will be back home very soon, my sweet baby. I promise you. I just have to take care of a few ugly things first.”
“I am missing you so much.”
