Little Selena looked around the room, her tiny face filled with worry.
Mom wasn’t in sight.
At first, she stayed quiet.
“Eee…?”
A soft, uncertain call.
She turned her head, searching every corner, hoping to see Mom appear. But the room felt empty to her.
Her lips began to tremble.
Her eyes grew watery.
Then suddenly—
“EEEEEE!”
Selena burst into a sad, heartfelt cry, her voice filled with fear and confusion. Her tiny body shook as she called out louder and louder.
“Eee! Eee!”
She moved slightly, still looking around, not understanding where Mom had gone.
To Selena, even a short moment apart felt too big.
She just wanted to feel safe again.
Her cries echoed softly through the room.
Then—
Footsteps.
Mom came back.
The moment Selena saw her, her crying grew louder for a second—this time full of relief.
Mom quickly picked her up.
Instantly—
The crying softened.
Selena clung tightly, her body relaxing as she felt the warmth and comfort she needed.
Now safe again, she became quiet, resting peacefully.
For little Selena, even a brief moment without Mom feels overwhelming—but love always brings her back to calm.
