Defeated, Fay waited until Dream had gotten her fill of her father.
It seemed like it was going to be a long wait, because the little girl wouldn't stop yapping about her entire day.
Finally, she paused long enough to spare a glance her mother's way.
"Mummy, did you do what you said you'd do?" She asked.
Fay, only glad to have her presence finally recognized, smiled.
"I did. But I guess talking to your father is more important," she added, feigning hurt.
Ace chuckled at her attempt to make them look bad.
"Go to mummy," he whispered to Dream, then stretched her towards Fay.
Fay accepted Dream into her arm, and the sparkle in her eyes returned.
"I missed you," she said, placing a kiss on her forehead.
"You look so pretty, mummy," Dream said.
"I do?"
"Yes, mummy."
"Well, you're my daughter, so that makes you pretty too." She pinched her nose, and her cheeks, causing Dream to giggle.
