Finding Her

" They were created for us to love and cherish, to make our worlds whole... Fate decides but we make the choice, Eli. I hope that, one day, you may find yours who will be as dear to you as your father is to me". Her words slightly confuse me but I nod anyways.

"Always stay by her side and keep her from sadness. Don't force her to do anything and let her come of her own will. I trust you can do that for me, right?" She asks quietly.
I lift my eyes to meet her gaze, wondering about the reason for this unexpected talk. "Yes, Mom" I reply.
She walks towards the door, her pink satin robe flowing behind her. " Night, bub" she whispers softly, switching off the lights and disappearing into the vast darkness of the hall.
