Ceridwen slipped out of the chair and knelt beside Jayden, wrapping her arms around him. "I love you too, Jayden," she said. "And I'm not going anywhere, I promise. Not even the shades of the dead can keep me away." She tightened her arms around him, running one hand over his back. She knew he had a lot of lost time to make up for, and she'd never gotten to do this for her boys when they were younger. And now that she could, she was never going to leave them again.
