CelestialWhisper
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
CelestialWhisper
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.

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.
CelestialWhisper
Oh he's worried about me
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
CelestialWhisper
I guess you're right
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
CelestialWhisper
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!
CelestialWhisper
Thanks mom.

CelestialWhisper
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
CelestialWhisper
Thank you mom. i start to walk towards my bathroom

CelestialWhisper

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
CelestialWhisper
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
CelestialWhisper
Promise
Good girl. I love you. π₯°
CelestialWhisper
Love you too
smiles I have something else to tell you... π
CelestialWhisper

CelestialWhisper
Congrats
Thank you, honey. We love you very much and are excited to spend the rest of our lives together. π
CelestialWhisper

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...
CelestialWhisper

Thanks, sweetie. Would you mind terribly if your father and I decided to spend some quality time together this afternoon?
CelestialWhisper
Nope.
