I'm impressed Celeste offered to help me with May.
I suppose spending more time with her has encouraged her to become more comfortable with the girl.
But then, Celeste is slowly learning to become more comfortable and confident in herself in general.
I give Celeste a warm, accepting smile. "If you'd like."
"Okay...Bath. Water." May yawns sleepily. "Warm..."
Celeste chuckles, smiling with relief and affection. She wraps an arm around May and begins to guide her to the staircase leading up to the bedrooms.
It's just about the sweetest sight to behold.
Though I feel a touch guilty too. Celeste had probably thought she would need to take care of the child whether or not she wanted to.
Perhaps I shouldn't have accepted so easily.
But then. Celeste had seemed almost...
Happy, when I'd allowed her to accompany May up the stairs.
That's probably normal, she likely only needed some confidence booster.
Still.
