"Hi Madi, how was preschool?" I ask, bending down and hugging my daughter.

"It was so fun mommy! I have a friend!"

"I'm so happy for you Mads."

I pull away from the hug and take Madi's hand as we walk to the car and I help her get buckled in.

The drive to the house is quick and when we walk inside I help Madi out and we go in and I make dinner. I help Madi into her chair and we eat dinner and a slice of cake I got for her because of her first day of school. I then I help her bathe, brush her teeth, and change for bed.

"Can you read the book?" Madi asks me, handing me a book we read almost every night.

"Of course Mads."

The book is called "I love you forever." Which is where we got it from, and Madi loves it more than any other book. When I finish reading it I give her a kiss on the forehead and then tuck her into bed.

"Goodnight Madi, I love you forever."

"I love you forever mommy."

And with that I walk out the door and shut it softly, as Madi drifts off to sleep. When I leave her room I go to get ready for bed, showering and doing my nighttime routine. When I'm done I get into bed and pull out my phone to see I got a text from Monty.

I smile and set my phone down, and snuggle into my pillow ready to fall asleep. I can't help as my thoughts wander to Lexa, and the last thing I think about is her as I drift off to sleep.

I wake up but I notice it's still dark out and there is someone standing in my doorway.

"Madi? What's wrong?"

"I had a nightmare." She says, tears in her eyes.

I sit up from bed and motion for her to walk towards me so I can pick her up and put her in bed next to me.

"I'm so sorry you had a nightmare Mads. Do you want to tell me what it was about?"

"Not really."

"That's ok. Maybe another day. Do you want to stay in bed with me and sleep in here tonight?"

"Yes."

"Ok Madi, goodnight sweetie, I love you forever."

"I love you forever mommy."
