When we finally rose to leave and I hugged her, Amy clung to me for a moment.

“I love you, Mom,” she told me. “I have to get back to my classes but I’ll call you soon.”

“I love you too, honey.” I kissed her cheek and waved goodbye as she left the diner.

The minute she walked out the door, Sel and Krynn slid into the booth across from me.

“You didn’t tell us that your daughter was a Changeling,” Sel remarked.

“A what?” I frowned at him.

“A Changeling is a Fairy baby that gets switched for a human one and left in the human world,” Krynn explained helpfully. “If you know what to look for, the signs are clear.”

“Amy’s not a Changeling,” I protested. “She’s the daughter of my ex-husband with his first wife who left him when Amy was only three.”

Krynn shook his head doubtfully.

“I don’t think so, my Lady. She’s got Fairy blood in her—I can feel it. It calls to the Fairy half of me.”

“But…but she doesn’t have any wings or anything,” I pointed out.

“No, of course not—she’s been living in the human world all this time,” Sel said.

“A Fairy’s wings won’t sprout in the Mortal Realm—he or she has to be living in the magic of the Fae Realm for them to grow,” Krynn told me.

“Well…she did used to get this rash right over her shoulder blades,” I said thoughtfully. “I bought her all kinds of special creams and medicated lotion to help—she always said it ached.”

“That was probably her wings trying to come out,” Krynn said. “There can be no doubt, my lady—your daughter is a Fairy. If not a full-blooded one, then at least a half-breed like me.”

“But then, should I go get her and bring her back with us?” I asked, half-rising from the table.

Sel shook his head.

“No, don’t—it’s not fucking safe,” he growled.

“Sel’s right—the Fairy Realm is in the middle of a civil war right now,” Krynn said seriously. “Your daughter—whoever she is—is better off staying away.”

“But I know how miserable it is to be stuck in the human world when you don’t belong here,” I said, thinking of the sadness and determination in Amy’s eyes when she’d told me she had already sworn off men forever.

“She might be miserable but at least she’s safe.” Sel reached across the table and put one big hand over mine. “Let her be for now, Princess. If she’s meant to get back to the Fairy Realm, she will.”

“Just like you came back to the Fae Realm, my Lady,” Krynn reminded me.

I sighed as I sat back down across from them. I had a whole new life now, but I loved my daughter dearly. Could it be that she was more than she appeared—just like I had been? Was it possible that Amy had a new life waiting for her somewhere in the Fairy Realm?

I didn’t know if that could be true, but I did know I wanted her to be safe, so I decided to let Fate take its course.

For now, anyway.

The End?

HONESTLY, I DON’T KNOW. :P
