Once a woman has a child, she has something to worry about and can no longer be as carefree as before. A child is like the person flying a kite, and she is the kite soaring in the sky.
However, the kite string is firmly held in the child's hand; no matter how far it flies, she will return with a gentle pull from the child.
In a strange city, on unfamiliar streets, Sienna always felt a pang of guilt whenever she thought of her child.
"It's her first time in Abyanabad, and she's completely unfamiliar with the place. Kiki didn't come along, so what if Curly comes looking for me?
"We didn't explain things clearly when we left just now. If she realizes that both of us are gone, she might be crying and looking for me right now. I feel so guilty. I'm a mother; what kind of mother leaves her child behind to go out and have fun on her own..."
