"I was going to stay mad at you forever if you didn't show up tonight." Grace, Jayda's mom smiled before pulling her daughter into a hug.

"Good evening Mom." Jayda chuckled.

"I missed you, Princess" Grace mumbled before she pulled away from the hug.

Jayda cried and cried until she had no more tears to shed. She sobbed until her head started aching.
