"Miss? Are you okay?"

Her gentle voice stammered when she spoke," Yes, yes, sorry. What is it I can do for you today?"

"Is Bella there?"

She blinked rapidly and nodded her head.

"Daddy can I pwease get a cupcake? I will tidy my bedwoom."

"No."

"Pweaseeeeeee? I'll be good foreverrrrrr."

He let out a sigh, "okay little love."

She squealed.

"She's beautiful," the woman said softly.

"Don't let that fool you," he joked lightly, trying to break the tension.
