Michael’s heart sank like a rock in his chest. “One day we will find her, Selene.” He told her, hoping to sound optimistic. He knew it was a long shot, but he could only hope that one day he would be reunited with their daughter, the daughter he didn’t know. He wanted to embrace his mate, to act as a reassurance even if he didn’t know one hundred percent that everything would work out. “We will be a family, I promise.” Again, something he didn’t know but he had to attempt to be reassuring.
of course she hopes michael is right, but she also doesn’t want him to get his hopes up only to have them crushed… she’s met their daughter, has protected her; he hasn’t. it could tear him apart if given the chance, only to have it denied. ❛ don’t say things you aren’t sure of, michael. please. ❜ it tears her apart maybe even more than it does him in the moment.
