Kaylor: Her

Prologue

What's a soldier?

That's the question her daughter had asked a few minutes ago. But Taylor didn't give her an answer right away, too overwhelmed by the precious memories. A weak smile was spread on her full red lips and her blue eyes had softened.

She looked down at her daughter who was playing with her stuffed toy in the shape of a sun. It was her favorite one. And all she could think about, in order to satisfy her daughter's curiosity, was one single word: her.

"Mom, what's a soldier?" The three-year-old blond girl repeated with a confused look.

"It's her." Taylor whispered. It came out as a barely audible croak as a lump was beginning to form in her throat. "Mommy used to be a soldier. A soldier is someone who serves in an army. This person defends her or his country and protects people's life with her or his own life. " She replied with a firmer voice.

The tiny girl nodded understandingly and kept playing with her toy for a couple of minutes until she gazed at Taylor once again.

"Can you tell me your story? The one about you and Mommy."

Taylor let out a genuine chuckle and spoke. "That's a long story buttercup. Are you sure you want to hear that?"

"I'm sure, mom." She told her with a bright grin. "But wait! Mommy is almost home. We should wait for her."

Taylor let out a deep sigh and sat next to her daughter. She leaned in to kiss her temple and began to stroke her thin strands of hair.

"She's already home, Elizabeth. Remember what she used to tell you, 'I will al-"

"I will always be in your heart." She cut her mother off, putting her small hand on her heart. "I will always stay in your mind and, as long as you want me to do so, I will be haunting your dreams." This time she put her finger on her forehead and began to pat it.

"That's right, baby." 

The blue-eyed woman had this one true smile on her face, the one only two people could ever be the cause of it. However, one of them was only making her genuinely smile through the memories they had shared together.

"Ready?"

A/N: Hey guys! I came up with this idea a while ago and I absolutely wanted to write a story with it. The prologue is very short but the chapters are definitely going to be longer. I hope you're going to like it! However, I still have my other story to finish, so the updates are going to be extremely slow... Sorry 😬❤️
