Nina clung to Nathalie's neck, her voice trembling. "Mom, I'm scared. Is he going to lockup too?" Nina curled up into a little ball, trembling.
Nathalie pulled her in, holding her close. "Nina, it was just a dream. Dreams aren't real." "But Mom, it wasn't a dream. It was real." Nathalie let out a breath that was half a laugh, half a sob, as she cradled her daughter's face gently. "Cameron saw you just the other day, and he was perfectly fine. Not a scratch on him. Nina, your dream was just a dream..." Nathalie's eyes were wide with sincerity. "Mom, it's true. I saw it myself.

Nina nodded earnestly. "Okay." Holding Nina close, Nathalie felt a heavy weight settle in her heart.
