Gemma's day had been long but lucrative. Her donation to the raffle the other week had brought about a bit of publicity for the salon, which had translated to being more booked than ever. Perhaps she might need to look into hiring another person sometime soon, but that would depend on how long the boost would last.
By the time she was finished the last updo, she was starving, and not knowing if Allegra would have eaten, she decided to stop for take-out. She bought enough to feed the three of them if supper hadn't been served, and if it had, then she'd have plenty of leftovers for at home.
She flooed over from the restaurant and stepped out of the fireplace, brushing off leftover soot from the trip. "Where's that little Cinderella? Has she turned back into a maid yet?" she called out. She'd thought of Lucy as Cinderella ever since she'd found out she was going to be a godmother - if she was going to be one, why not be a fairy godmother?
"Auntie Gem!" Lucy sprung up and wrapped her arms around Gemma's waist. She made a production of looking very put upon, but a part of her liked the kid's affection - at least in moderation.
"Here, I've got something for you to try on." She handed the girl a small bag containing a souvenir from the concert on Saturday, a Weird Sisters shirt in her size. "I got one for your Mama too, but I don't know if she'll wear it much." She tossed another bag toward Allegra before grinning and aiming for the kitchen.
"I brought food, by the way. Have you eaten? I'm starving."
