Zeph had only admired the view while comparing Stella's more mature body to that of Selena while trying to envision what the mother would look like with her daughter's piercings and how beautiful Selena would be in the next five, ten, or twenty years up until this point, but now he felt that he had to say something.
"Stella, if you want jewelry just ask. They can be little mementos of our breaf time spend together with nothing between us. Alorna be nice, she is scared too, and only the wine is making her feel brave. Right now Sonya is going nuts behind us and it has nothing to do with her snuggling with Lilith."
"She is getting upset and angry that a perfectly good bath is being waisted as we stand here. Selena before it goes past bathing are you fine with your mother being here?"
"Better you than Brandon."
"Stella?"
"I sent her to your bed for protection, why would I tell her to leave just because I am thinking about being in it."
