Jacob let his breath out slowly. "Amia will be whole again, sweetheart, whole and happy once more. Time can heal where other things cannot. I feel it. I know it will happen. Do not continue to know such sorrow. She will return to you in a way totally unexpected. I do not know how I know this, but I do."

If it is your desire that she be a sister to me, then it will be so."
"Why do you never speak her name?"
