This sleepover was a long time in coming. Spending the night under the Christmas tree with Marigold was only the logical next step. Spreading out her bedroll next to the little girls George motioned for her little friend to join her. The fact was though George wasn’t entirely comfortable with this setup just yet, but she was trying. She’d promised she would try and she would be true to her word to the best of her ability.
“So your mommy said you usually have a story before bed. Is that true?” She asked trying to put on the most winning expression she could for the little girl. Her mind racing to settle on a story to tell her almost niece should she ask for one. More specifically a story that wasn’t going to give the kid nightmares or get her into trouble with her mother.
She turned her head to look up along the trunk of the tree. They’d decorated it earlier and the lights were still on creating an almost hypnotic pattern of solid and blinking lights while George waited for Marigold’s answer.
