So lost in the realms of memory, I never hear Fiona until she is in the door and talking at a pace that only my pixie girl who is hyper excited can. I blink a few times to make sense of everything that just tumbled past her lips, and only when I wrap my head around it all do I notice the woman being tugged behind my excited girl.
"Fiona; take a moment and catch your breath my dear girl." I laugh a little and rise from my seat. I would normally catch her up in my arms and swing her around; but I do not have the heart for it today. "I am rather sad today, but no bad dreams. I would be happy to meet your friend," And I spare a smile for the striking woman. "And Mab is always welcome here."
There, I think I covered it all. "Would you and your friend like to pick a table and tea while we wait for Mab?" I ask, managing to keep on a smile. It is not a hard thing to do with Fiona around, after all.
