Little Rose

After the discussion with Lisa earlier during the day, Elsa went home with gifts for Valerie. She made a plan to research the best place she could take Valerie for a vacation that would mend their relationship, but she knew she had to take baby steps.

The gifts she bought weren’t the kind for a typical five-year-old girl. Elsa knew Valerie was different and accepted her daughter as unique. On her way home from work, she stopped at the store and bought a chess set, puzzles, and Scrabble. Valerie loved games that required deep thinking. She also got supplies for Tiara. Elsa knew that if she bought nice things for Tiara, Valerie might pardon her a bit.

When she got home, she went directly to her new room, which was near Valerie’s. She took a bath, changed into a gold nightgown, and put on a hair bonnet and face mask as part of her usual skincare routine. She hadn’t done it the other day because her wonderful daughter had scared her to death.
