"Hey, come here." 

Ruby pounces off from the couch and grins widely are me. "Mummmy, I want daddy home."

"Daddy is flying up in the sky!" 

She giggles as I pick her up and swing her, she holds onto my hand and kisses my cheek.

"Turn on the news." Abi walks in, pale.

"Abi.. what's wrong?" I say, putting Ruby down.

My daughter is a angel..

"News." She says and turns on the tv. 

I narrow my eyes at the screen and widen my eyes, there's a reporter on the screen and behind her in the background is a plane..a crashed plane... please no.

"Lufthansa 143.--" 

"Is that his plane!?" I gasp, putting my hand above my mouth, asking Abi.

"So far, we know that the pilots flying the plane have not survived, although---" The reporter continues.

I collapse and feels tears streaming down my cheeks at rapid pace... I hear Abigail sob and sits down next to me, holding me tightly in her arms. 

"Mummy, what's wrong...?" Ruby comes to stand in front of me, worry in her eyes.

"Oh.. Ruby.." I sob and pull her into my arms..

I face Abi again.. "It can't be... please.." I say.

She sighs and strokes my arm, and looks to the TV again... "It might not be him." 

"But could it be?" I say.

"He's a pilot for Lufthansa, doesn't mean he was in that plane." She says. 

I let out a sob and smooth Ruby's hair, I keep my eyes on the screen as they bring out the dead from the plane, I feel lightheaded all of a sudden and the tears don't stop. 

"Abi... get my phone." I whisper.

She hands me the phone, knowing not to argue and I dial Luis's number, it keeps ringing and I shake my head, no... no... not him, not his plane, it's not.. 

It goes to voice mail and I scream, throwing the phone to the floor. 

"He might just be somewhere.." Abi says.

I can feel my heart breaking.

I switch the TV off and pick up Ruby, we go to mine and Luis's bedroom and I shut the door.

"Mummmy..?" 

I collapse and fall in front of the door and sobs after sobs come out, Ruby comes over to me and puts her hand on my cheek. "Mummy, what going on? I want daddy." 

I look at her through glossy eyes. ".. Ruby.. daddy's gone.."

"Guys!?" Abigail shouts.

I gasp at the sudden shouting from her and clear my eyes. "Come on, Abi wants to talk." I try putting on a small smile, but it twitches, when I look at Ruby's tears.

We walk down the stairs, I freeze when I see Abigail standing at the door, and next to her... 

"Hey Celine... Ruby." Sam nods.

I shake my head. "Sam, don't say it." 

He looks at me, pained. "You want me to lie?" 

I choke out another damn sob and shake my head, my life is falling apart.. bit by bit. 

"NO!" I scream out, Ruby cries even louder.

Sam tells Abi to take Ruby to the kitchen and kneels down, pulling me to his chest. "Hey... it's going to be okay..." 

"No... he's dead..." I whisper. 

"He loved you." He sucks in a breath and rocks me. 

I can't stop screaming..

He's gone.

He's not coming back.

Luis, I love you, and always will.
