Only a Horizon

Kako was three when the thought first crossed her mind.

Does Mother love me?

It had always been apparent that Daddy loved her, but Mother? Mother never tucked Kako into bed at night, or told her stories in funny voices or checked for monsters under the bed or kissed her head and nose before turning the lights off. That was always Daddy. Mother never held her hand and swung her arm as she skipped with her to daycare, bending down to give her a large hug before waving goodbye and going off to work. That was always Daddy. In fact, Kako never really saw Mother in the morning, for by the time Nanny had her seated in the dining room for breakfast, Mother was already gathering up her helmet and goggles and keys and out the door without so much as a backwards glance.

Mother wasn’t heartless, though. She bought Kako expensive toys and dressed her up whenever Grandfather visited and offered her treats if she sat still and was polite to company when they came calling. On the rare occasion that she would be in the same room as Kako, she’d pat the little girl’s head and smile (albeit stiffly) at her as she sauntered out.

Don’t be silly, Kako, the little girl assured herself. Mother loves you. You’re just like her.
