Well, I really should have written this ages ago, since it happened a while back, but I think it’s still relevant.
One fine day, I came walking in the door from work to see my two favorite people sitting in the rocking chair. Maryanne had Zoë on her knee, bouncing her around a little. I came in, said hi to Maryanne and then squatted down to say hi the the Baroness. She hadn’t really noticed me coming in as she was really interested in looking out the window, but when I started talking to her she turned to look at me and gave the biggest smile I have ever seen from her. That one little look just made my day (which was already a good one) perfect. I realized 2 minutes later that I am doomed. Odds are, my little daughter will be getting anything she wants from me.
