"It is time for us to take our leave, mother. Do you want me to visit you tomorrow? You'll be all alone tonight," Kate said, hugging her mother goodbye for the fifth time. It was harder to let go now that the moment was finally here.
"Nonsense," Katrina fixed a strand of Kate's hair that fell out of place. "You need to enjoy your time alone with your new husband. I won't feel alone tonight or any other night. We can plan a meeting as a new family when you've settled into your new role."
"Okay, but I will send servants to check up on you. Goodbye," Kate hugged her mother once more.
