Olive nodded slowly. “Okay, but promise we’ll see each other soon. Promise you’ll miss me.”
Lori smiled and kissed the top of Olive’s head. “I promise, baby. I’ll miss you so much.” She held Olive close, not wanting to let go.
A few hours later, Chris arrived to pick up Olive. Lori knelt down, gently slipping Olive’s little shoes onto her feet. She had embroidered tiny flowers on them herself, making them special.
“Be good for your dad, okay?” Lori said softly, hugging Olive tightly.
Olive nodded and smiled, but Lori could still feel a tug in her heart as they left for the airport.
