“How do I look?”

Ava glanced at her young daughter and nodded in satisfaction. “Absolutely stunning, of course. Look at you both, you are my baby daughters Don’t worry, you two will be the belles of the ball.”

Barbara and Becky, one on each side of Ava, gratefully beamed at her.

“We won’t be the prettiest ones there. The most beautiful woman at the banquet will definitely be you, Mom”

Ava chuckled. “You girls sure know how to sweet talk”

She can’t even have children, and yet he neglects us for her. I hate him!”
