"Did you knowww?" Lynx drawls, making a hissing sound at the snake wrapping around my arm. It's cute, and I'm thinking about keeping it. It doesn't respond to her antic, and she giggles. Ready to try again.
"Know what?" I ask, waiting for her friend's mother to return with a party bag so Lynx and I can leave. Also, the snake is hers.
Cute as hell. I will not tell Micah.
"That you are 50% spicy, and 50% Beauuuuuuutifulll."
My stomach cramps as I burst into a laugh. Lynx joined me, her hair bounces in its little braids.
"That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me." I laughed, reaching to pinch her cheek. It's accurate but so unexpected from an eight year old.
She grins, showing me all of her teeth. "YaY!"
"You two are precious." An older lady says as she strolls towards us. The snake uncurls, and I miss the weight. Sadly watching it slither its owner. She bent over to give Lynx a cute pink sparkly bag with a bow at the front.
