Despite being slightly startled, Leslie was happy with Calliope's offer.
How could she not?
Her daughter took the initiative to feed her!
Knowing how kind her child was made Leslie beam with pride. Calliope seemed to retain the tenderness of her heart even in this new world.
Swiftly agreeing with Calliope, Leslie thanked the little one, "That's so kind of... you, Poppy... Thank you so much..."
Calliope grinned, revealing her cute little teeth. She pointed to one of the dining tables placed on the front lawn.
"Let's sit there, Aunty. Poppy will feed Aunty so well. I won't be clumsy ah."
Calliope's words enticed Leslie to laugh. Her daughter's action gently brushed her heart, reminding her of their long-awaited reunion after two months of separation.
Even though Calliope didn't know who she was, Leslie was fine with it. She didn't want her daughter to recall the terrifying moments before she breathed her last.
My battery was drained from socializing today :/ my office threw an Eid celebration. Thankfully, all food was tasty :3
