After a while, she asked quietly,
“So… you’re still my mommy?”
“Yes.”
I answered before she even finished the question.
Her whole body relaxed against me.
Then she looked at Mr. Bunny again.
“Will you tell me more about Josie?”
So I did.
And while I talked, Lily gently stroked the rabbit’s worn fur.
Mr. Bunny had traveled a very long way.
Through an accident.
Through Daniel’s guilt.
Through years inside a hidden box.
Through another death.
But eventually, just as Josie had asked—
he finally came home.
