Seraphina lowered her back to the rug-soft floor and cupped her cheeks. "I've missed your voice calling me that. Would you... would you like to relearn the lullaby we used to sing together? I've been humming it to myself every night since you've returned."
Evelisse blinked. 'Relearn? Lady, that would mean I knew it in the first place. In my past life, I sang in a cracked hospital bathroom and prayed no one was listening.'
She resisted the urge to quip out loud and instead gave her most innocent smile, tilting her head ever so sweetly. "I'd love to learn it again, Mommy!"
