Oh. She was being called pretty. Paulina blushed a little. "Hello, Ashlyn. Thank you. My name is Paulina." She was about to ask the little girl if she knew her when...

wait...

She KNEW who the woman was.

"Adeline?" Was this her big sister? Paulina hadn't seen her since she was about seven.

Ashlynn smiled looking up at the new person she had just met. She was pretty and she looked like her mommy a little. "You're pretty and you look like my mommy." But her mommy was prettier.

Adeline shook her head when she was listening to Ashlynn speak. She had to admit to herself that kids were smarter than they let you believe. Adeline looked back up at Paulina. "Yes." She knew who it was, she wasn't and she couldn't deny it as much as she wanted to. To be honest she wanted nothing to do with her past or her family for how they treated her. She was the outcast of the family and wanted to leave them in the past. "It's...um...nice to see you, Paulina." She said slightly biting her tongue.

"YOU KNOW MY MOMMY!!!!" Ashlynn let go of her mother's hand and started flailing. The seven year old calmed down a bit and beamed. "My mommy is bestest person in the world!!" She nodded a few times. "Oh and my daddy is too!!! I love my mommy and daddy so much!!. Like...DIS MUCH!!" Ashlynn opened her arms as wide as she could. She wanted to get her point across.
