When Diana arrived home with Abby, she was surprised to see Brian was home already.
"You're back early?"
Brian smiled. It seemed that Diana was getting used to having him around again.
Before Brian could answer, Diana's phone began to ring, and she left Brian and Abby together in the living room.
"Uncle Brian…" Abby pulled Brian's sleeves shyly.
"Yes, princess?"
"I…" Abby hesitated.
Brian sat down next to her on the sofa and waited patiently for her to speak.
Abby bit her lips and whispered, "Mummy said you could be my Daddy. Is it true?"
"Your Mummy said that?" Brian was elated. How quickly Diana had changed her mind!
Diana walked in and saw them whispering to each other excitedly.
"What are you guys talking about?" she inquired.
Abby hinted at Brian to keep quiet, putting a finger to her mouth.
Brian laughed at that and answered innocently, "Nothing."
