Isadora knocked on Valentina's door, but when she didn't respond, she decided to open the door anyway.
It opened, and she walked in.
"Hello?" She was calling out when she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Shutting the door carefully behind her, she fully walked into the room.
The twins were in different cribs, but Arthur was asleep in his.
Zella was playing with her pacifier when Isadora peeked into her crib.
"Hello pretty girl." She waved at her.
Zella took away her pacifier, to stare at the woman who was waving at her.
"So beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful Zell-Zell. Aunty is sorry, okay? Things shouldn't have gotten that far. Do you forgive me?"
Zella didn't giggle or smile. She just stared at her.
"Yeah, I deserve the blank stare. But–" she paused, and in a heartbeat, something shifted in her eyes.
Two fingers went to her nose, and she pinched it shut.
When she pulled away, she looked at Zella.
"See? It's fun."
