"Can I hold her?" The lady asked but I turned around a bit in the other direction as a protective gesture and stared at her, she opened up her arms with a smile on her face. A very gentle smile.
I relaxed and turned to her, letting her take Rosalie from my arms.
"She's beautiful." She said and I nodded, "Is she your sister?" I shook my head as I held the bottom of my sweater. She looked at me and then sighed, "Are you hungry Lexus?"
I looked up at her with eyes full of craving. She didn't need a verbal answer after that and invited me in. Usually a kid shouldn't be entering a stranger's house but that Lady didn't feel like one, rather, she felt more like family than the one I already had. And her house felt warmer than my own.
"She's barely two days or maybe just a day old." The lady said as she lovingly looked at Rosalie.
"Is that why she's so small?"
"Yes."
"I see…" I looked back at the tiny little thing.
