Norris looked at Norris Moore with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She was still too young to understand Norris Moore's profound principles, feeling only that her mommy's eyes seemed a bit sad when she spoke these words.
It was like the times when her mom would suddenly find herself unable to smile while looking at her.
Adults have their secrets, and though Norris may not understand the reasons, she could empathize.
Gripping Norris Moore's hand, she pressed it against her face, comforting Norris Moore just as she did for Aldana Candi every time: "Mommy, don't be sad, Norris will always be with you."
Her voice was soft and sweet, like cotton candy, and Norris Moore smiled slightly as she looked at her.
She really was an incredibly adorable little girl.
The best, best gift she and Aldana Candi could ever receive from heaven.
