ALEX.

         “That’s definitely more than two,” she laughed. “Kissing makes you feel good, like…” She paused for a second as she tried to find something they could relate to. “…when you go really high in a swing or go really fast down a slide. It’s even better when you do it with someone you have special feelings for.” She glanced at the twins, somewhat relieved that she didn’t have to answer that last one. Feelings were often muddy, confusing, and she definitely wasn’t the best-fitted person to talk about them. When did you actually realize that the feelings you had for someone were special and went beyond affection, attraction, attachment? It was hard to say, especially when you were so used to ignoring strong feelings, channeling them through other means. “Anna, you get to ask questions first next time, okay? And you can ask two extra ones. Come on, chipmunks, time for bed. You want me to help you?” The last question now directed at Petra.

        “I don’t think you have much of a choice.” she chuckles as little Ellie starts tugging at Alex’s hand. She’s certain the twins prefer having the other woman do it during her weekly visits, not that she minds. Petra uncurls her legs to get off the couch and moves to lift Anna, who was still wearing a pout, up in her arms. “It’s okay, sweetheart.” she says softly, giving the girl a reassuring smile as they make their way to the girls’ bedroom, “You heard your Auntie Alex. There’s always next time, and you even get to ask two extra questions. Come on, give us a smile.” she urges, nodding in approval as her daughter’s lips curl. And she sets her daughter back down as soon as they reach the door, letting her run off to climb into bed with her sister before turning to look at her friend, “Do you want to tuck them in? I think they want you to.”
