Crybaby Redux

Dollhouse

Crybaby and her dad were driving home. Crybaby was at daycare, her dad had just picked her up. Late, as always. In her car seat, Crybaby was smiling ear to ear, hopping up and down with excitement.
"What's got you so happy today, Sweetie?" Her dad said from the front seat, looking through the rearview mirror.
"I made a friend at daycare!"
"Oh really? That's great!"
"Ya! Her name's Angelita and her mommy's bringing her over tomorrow to play with me!"
"That's good, honey. But don't be sad if she forgets to tell her mommy." He knew what had probably actually happened, the girl was just too nice to tell Crybaby to leave her alone and pretended to be friends with her.
"Her mommy already knows! We told her ourselves!"
"You met her mom already?"
"Ya! She sat with me for an hour after everyone else left waiting for you to come! I told her I get out later but she kept saying stuff like 'its already 8pm' and 'this is so messed up!'"
"Oh...heh...alright darling...uh-- look we're almost home!"
She was excited to tell her mom about her new friend but she was asleep on the couch so her dad took her upstairs and tucked her in before going back downstairs.
She'd gotten used to hearing her parents argue, so she wasn't bothered by the yelling that followed her door being closed, she was also used to the sound of her dad's car driving away and her mom crying in the kitchen.

She woke up the next morning and had breakfast before there was a knock at the front door. Her mom groggedly stumbled to the living room and opened the door. It was Angelita and her mom.
Her mom groaned as the sunlight made her head pound even more.
"Agh--...hello?"
"Hi! I'm Mary and this is my daughter Angelita!"
Crybaby peaked from behind her mom and excitedly waved to Angelita, who smiled and waved back while giggling.
"Our daughters met at daycare and seem to really like eachother. I brought her over so they could have a little play date! If that's alright with you, of course."
Crybaby's mom looked down at Angelita than back at her mother.
"Yeah, sure, okay."
"Great!" She patted Angelita's back "Go on honey!"
Angelita excitedly ran in and hugged Crybaby.
"Let's go upstairs and play with my toys!" Crybaby said while leading her to her bedroom.
Crybaby's mom gave a fake smile to Mary, who responded with a genuine one.
"Oh, one more thing." Mary said
"Hm?"
"May we talk about your husband really quick?"
This piqued her interest.
"Yes, of course. Come in, I'll get us some wine."
"Oh I don't drink, thank you."
