"Oh, Jennie, I don't know if that's a good idea." Mrs. Manoban sighed, crossing her legs. "Today I'm free, Lisa can stay with me"

"I guarantee Lisa will be fine." Jennie said, her voice radiating conviction. "She will be with me all the time."

"If she starts screaming, you-"

"I know how to calm her down, and I don't even think she's going to yell. It'll just be a walk. Lisa has to leave the house more times, that's why she's so stressed."

The hazel-eyed girl, who was oblivious to everything, tugged on Jennie's hand, muttering something that made sense only to her.

"Wait, Lili. I'm talking to your mother." Jennie murmured to the older woman offering her a gentle smile.

"Talk fast, Nini." Lisa played with her hands anxiously, in her little eyes there was a perceptible sparkle caused by animation.

"See? She's so excited. . ." Jennie turned her attention back to the older woman, nodding at Lisa.

"All right." Anne said still half reluctantly. "Lisa, eat here."

Lisa was pulled out of her world by Jennie's hands pulling her gently by the waist, "Your mother is calling you, Lili."

"N-no, Lisa wants to go with Je-Jennie..." The short-haired girl tried to get rid of her mother's hand that was on her wrist.

"You'll go, baby" Mrs. Manoban said with a slight laugh. Lisa snorted, closing her eyes as she received a kiss on her forehead. "You behave, okay?"

"Lisa is already big mom" she said.

The ease with which she dictated the words brought a huge smile to Jennie's lips.

"I know, but I have to make sure you don't give Jennie a job."

"We can go?" Jennie asked already a little impatient. Anne sighed before releasing her daughter's hand from her.

Lisa looked around with a small smile on her lips, she seemed to want to record every bit of what she was seeing. A light breeze made her hair dance and gave her a reason to laugh.

The weather was a little cold and that's why her nose and cheeks we're red, her eyes we're too light and the brightness remained. Her hands covered by baby blue woolen gloved, a hat with little panda ears covered her head and a small part of her ears.

"Irene already arrived, N-Nini?" Lisa asked quietly playing with Jennie's fingers after sitting down on a bench.

"Not yet, I think." Jennie said half distracted by fixing Lisa's hat. "Are you cold?"

"Lisa is fine with Jennie." She said swinging her legs, a clear sign of anxiety.

The brown-eyed girl smiled placing a brief kiss on Lisa's temple. Jennie narrowed her eyes to look around her, smiling as she saw Irene approaching them, returning the smile.

"Hey" Jennie murmured getting up to kiss the girl's cheek without letting go of Lisa's hand.

"Hey, who's your friend?" Irene nodded in the direction of the hazel-eyed girl, who hadn't sensed her presence, and continued to play with Jennie's fingers.

"Uh, this is Lisa." Jennie sighed starting to get nervous about the huge possibility that Irene would treat the older girl like she was abnormal.

Lisa raised her head when she heard her name called by Jennie and her hazel orbs locked on Irene. Her cheeks grew redder and she looked at Jennie as she bit her lip.
