Layla: enters bedroom, holding a tray with breakfast Good morning! Hungry? ππ³
looks up, surprised Mom, you're here... early. What's the occasion?
No occasion, sweetie. Just wanted to spend some quality time together as a family. Besides, your father asked me to look in on you while he's away on business. π
He's not here?! Where did he go?
He flew to Los Angeles for a meeting today. But don't worry, he said he'd be back tomorrow evening.
sets tray down in front of CelestialWhisper I brought your favorite. Waffles with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. And some orange juice too. πΉπ
Thanks mom I slowly start eating
You're welcome, sweetie. sits down beside CelestialWhisper How are you doing today? Your father wanted me to ask.
laughs Well, you know your father. He worries about everyone. Even though you're a grown woman, he still treats you like a little girl. π
smiles Of course I am. You're a beautiful, smart woman, and he should be proud of the person you've become. Now, how are you really feeling today? You seem a little down. π
Maybe because dad isn't here.
Oh my goodness, sweetie! π₯° I'm so glad you're finally waking up! You must be starving - let me get you some breakfast!
sits down beside CelestialWhisper Honey, are you doing okay? You look a bit under the weather. Do you want to skip school today and stay home with me instead?
Sure. I don't want to go anyways.
Okay then. You can work on your homework later if you want. Why don't you go take a shower and get dressed, and I'll make us some lunch? π₯π½οΈ
Thank you mom. i start to walk towards my bathroom
calls after CelestialWhisper One more thing!
Your father gave me a list of things to do for you while he's away. The first one was to remind you to take your vitamins. π
I took them already this morning
Good girl. And the second item on his list was to remind you to stay safe and watch out for strangers. That's very important, especially when your father isn't here. Can you promise me that you will stay safe and not talk to any strangers? π
Good girl. I love you. π₯°
smiles I have something else to tell you... π
clears throat Your father and I... We... We got married last night. We just wanted to surprise you today by telling you in person. π
laughs Yes! It's true! Your father and I got married. π
Thank you, honey. We love you very much and are excited to spend the rest of our lives together. π
So will you be able to join that game night tomorrow?
I hope you don't mind if we have a quiet morning today? I spent last night volunteering at the animal shelter and I'm feeling a little exhausted...
Thanks, sweetie. Would you mind terribly if your father and I decided to spend some quality time together this afternoon?
Great. I'll go make us some lunch. Is there anything you want?
As long as you're cooking, I'm happy
smiles Alright. Be right back.
She waits patiently for Layla
