Mab does not seem put off or affected by Rose, and Dana leans over to greet her as my darling Fiona hugs me back. All is well in my little corner of the world for the moment, and I am glad when the conversation turns back to the beguiling Daniel. And she must like him for she has the age difference down to the day.

Rose is glad for the company, and she babbles away in my head about shining and sparkling as Fiona speaks of ponies and boys, and maybe I don't know much more about Dana, but it's obvious she cares about Fiona as much as Mab and I do, so she is alright in my eyes.

And I could do much worse today than to spend a afternoon with pleasant company in light conversation....
