Daphne nodded. "Very late. I was worried I was going to wake you when I got here." She smiled as Ella told her about their evening, letting her finish before taking her hand and following her inside.
She looked down at Ella, her expression calm despite the question. These children did know quite a lot, and it was getting her into trouble. "I don't know, honey," she said. "That's something I'll have to talk about with Miles first. But I know that I'll be as good a Mummy as I can no matter what." She hoped that would be sufficient, and she really did intend on following through with that at least.
