Sophie Pov
I was just chilling in the room on my phone which was now not dead when the door opened.

"I am sorry, wrong room. The person said. It was a boy. 

I caught a glimpse of him, he looked cute.

"Who or what  are you thinking about?"  Dad asked as he sat on the bed. I didn't even notice him enter. I was just too deep in thought I guess. 

I was thinking about that boy. No one. I said.

"Come on, Soph tell me," Dad said. I finally gave in. 

"A boy accidentally entered this room, he was cute,"  I said.

"So the cute door boy," Dad said laughing. 

"Dad," I shouted not in an angry manner just in a playful manner and he knew that.

He laughed and sat on his bed and sighed.

"You tired?" I ask

"Very much. Flights just tire me out."  He said.

We both stayed quiet most of the day and now was the time for dinner which we decided to eat in the room only. All of us were having dinner together.

Soon, it arrived. Seconds later, Duke arrived.

While eating dinner, duke and dad were talking about some medical stuff.

I just chose to ignore it as the things they were talking about were really in detail and I didn't want to hear about that while eating. 

After dinner Duke went to his room. Dad received a call. I had no one  to talk to and I was quite bored, so I just stepped outside to see the beautiful ocean.

I held onto the rod that was there.

I didn't know why but I was just missing mom a lot today a lot more than normal days. 

"Missing Me? " I heard a voice. A voice I hadn't heard in years it was mom's voice. She was standing there. I stared at her in amazement.

"Yeah, very much." I say.

She walked up to me and pulled me into a hug. She looked exactly the same as she did 10 years ago, just as I remembered.  I cried onto her.

"Don't cry, I always watch over you and dad you both are doing great." She said.

"I just miss you a lot today," I said. 

"That's alright Sophie, but you don't need to miss me I am right here." She said. 

I was still crying. She began singing a rhyme that she used to sing when I was little and crying. It calmed me down.

"Good luck, Soph and know I will always be here just close your eyes take my name I will be there. " Mom says and vanishes, just disappeared out of nowhere. 

"Who are you talking to?" Dad asks, stepping out. 

"No one." I say clearly lying but when I lied my nose turned a bit red and dad knew that. 

"Why are you crying then?"  He asks.

"I don't know something must have gone in my eye." I say.

"Alright". He says but I can tell that he is still suspicious.

We both step into the room. As it was already 11 pm I crash onto the bed.

Dad does the same but he falls asleep right away.

As he is asleep, a few tears roll down on my cheek and now I am crying, I really was missing mom, and the fact that I just saw her made me miss her even more.

"Soph. Are you okay?"  Dad asks with concern hovering over my bed.

I nodded. 

"Then why are you crying? " He asks as he sits cris- cross on my bed.

I keep my head in his lap.

"What happened bud? He asks

"Dad, I miss mom". I say.

A look of pain comes on his face but he quickly hides it.

"Why did something happen today?" He asks.

"Yeah dad I was standing out there and talked to her, she hugged me and it was just kind of weird." I said. 

"Okay, sometimes that happens when you miss someone excessively,"  He said and began explaining these things.

I nodded along as he explained surprisingly I could understand each and everything he said.

I was still laying down in his lap. When he finished explaining I felt my eyelids close and I drifted off to sleep with dad caressing my head.

Sophie was laying down in my lap while I was telling her about why she saw Sarah. I began patting and caressing her head. When I no longer, felt her head nodding.

I looked down and she was asleep peacefully.

I gently moved her to the pillow, tucked her in, and went to sleep myself.
