"Thank you, Miss Elora!" Emma chirped in response. 

Elora petted the girl's head and chuckled, "Since we're family now, I'd prefer if you just called me Elora." Then she winked suggestively, "Although I also like Mommy as an option."

Emma flushed red at Elora's implication and stammered, "I- I'll stick with Elora for now. Maybe I'll call you that other thing one day, but for now… it may have been seven years, but I haven't had much chance to mourn my parents in that time."

"Of course, dear," Elora nodded understandingly. Then she shrunk down and went to sit on Erik's shoulder before continuing. "I'd never try to replace your late mother."

The funny thing was that she actually meant that. Truly, it was like a switch had been flipped now that Emma was placed in her family bracket.

After settling down, her lips formed into a teasing smirk. "By the way, how about you show our husband the mark that signifies your bond."
