Ridiculous Consolation

I looked at the kitchen and dining room, spotless as usual, washed my face, and instead of returning to my room, went to my daughter's room and lay down next to her, falling asleep just like that.

When I woke up, Angel had been awake for a while and was playing with her dolls.

I thought for a moment and then said to her, "Let's change our clothes. Mommy will take you out for breakfast, and then we'll go to the office. If there's nothing urgent, we can go to Grandma's house today, okay?"

Angel cheered and asked if she could bring her Barbie sister along.

I called Colin and told him I'd be a bit late.

Then I dressed and groomed Angel, packed her winter clothes in a small suitcase along with mine, and we left home.

We had breakfast and went straight to the office. It was Angel's first time there.

She immediately became the office princess, with Luna showing her around everywhere.
