"Like a princess," Hope chimed in.

With a gracious bow, Bonnie held the sides of her dress. "Why thank you, my lady. But I believe the true princess here is you," she said, lightly booping Hope's nose, causing Hope to giggle.

"You know how cupcakes come in various flavors, sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet?" Bonnie explained.

"Cotton candy swirls with sprinkles and brownie bits. And don't forget the bubble gum pieces," Hope reminded them.

Bonnie made a face. "That's quite the peculiar combination," she remarked.

"It's Uncle to you!" Kol called after her.

"Kol sounds better!" Hope retorted.

Bonnie chuckled at their banter, then exchanged a knowing look with Kol, who wore a smug expression. "I don't understand where she gets all that entitlement from," he quipped, shaking his head.
