"Godmother?" I inquire softly, my lips quirking up into a smile.
"You're at my club, the Crossroads. It's a charming place, don't you think?" I accept theplate and look about. "Indeed it is. Quite opulent, yet welcoming at the same time."
"You're recovering well after the baby, what did you call your daughter in the end?"
Nod as I take a bite, then wipe the corners of my mouth. "Remarkably well, better than I probably should be. I have her to thank for that, I suppose." I say with a wry grin. "And her name is Rose. It's funny, I had a list of names three pages long and it never crossed my mind to call her that but as soon as I laid my eyes on her..." Laugh a little, realizing I am gushing on as only a new mother can. "Anyway, her name is Rose and she is beautiful. Have you seen her?" I ask, tilting my head a bit in curiosity.
