"I miss you Fay," the little girl said, and Fay's heart squeezed.
"I miss you too munchkin. How have you been? Tell me, have you been well?" She asked in a rush.
"I'm fine. Ma'am Gabrielle is really nice. The twins are nice too. Grandma bought me a box of white chocolate," she giggled.
"I'm so glad to hear you're fine," Fay said, making a mental note of the fact she didn't mention Aunt Celine. "Sophie, I promise to come see you as soon as I can, okay? You can't see me, but I'm raising my pinky right now."
"Really? But I don't want you to stress yourself. You need to heal a lot before thinking about leaving the house. Promise? And I'm raising my pinky too."
Fay laughed heartily. "Alright darling. But let's talk more, okay? I'll get ma'am Gabrielle's number from Ace, so I can call you whenever I want to hear your voice."
"Okay!" She said excitedly. "Where's Ace?"
"He's not home at the moment. Should I tell him you asked after him?"
