Daphne is woken up to someone shaking her shoulder. Her hair was still a mess when she sat up, wiping the sleep from her eyes. She could see a figure looming over her and when her eyes opened up properly, she saw her mother. "You have to get dressed." The woman told her, brushing the girl's hair out of her face.
"Qué hora es?" She reached her hand out, picking up her glasses as she placed them on the bridge of her nose. She had lost her contacts, she thinks she was at a party but she's not sure.
Natasha smiled, she liked when Daphne wore her glasses. She looked like that little girl that would never leave Natasha's side. The one that clung to her mother like her life depended on it.
"It's one pm." Natasha was also rather impressed by her Spanish. Daphne had been practicing and she could tell.
"I have to get ready." The girl threw the covers off her body, starting to sit up as she made her way to the bathroom.
"I'll put your clothes out for you." Natasha called out and when her daughter disappeared into the bathroom, she started making up her bed. She placed the girl's suit out on the bed, and she went outside the room.
She didn't see Daphne again until she walked out of the room. She wore a black suit, her hair perfectly slicked back with purple flowers printed out on the hem of her blazer. She looked beautiful with red lipstick and combat boots.
"Hi," she went to hug her mom first, looking over at Laurel who was already starting to take pictures of the girls and their dates.
She said hello to Laurel and Susannah before she turned her head and she saw Belly. All dressed up, looking like something Daphne had seen in a dream once. Beauty had never existed before then and neither had oxygen because Daphne was almost certain she couldn't breathe.
"You look..." She started but that sentence didn't seem to have an end so instead she pulled Belly into her arms.
Belly wasn't taken off guard, she knew this was who Daphne was now. She ached to be held and that's what Belly would give her. She wrapped her arms around the girl, her cheeks rested against Daphne's shoulder.
"I know." Of course Belly knew. She still wanted to hear it but she knew.
Daphne opened her mouth to say something but before the words could touch the tip of her tongue, Laurel and Natasha called them. Told them it was time for the pictures.
"Let me go get your corsage." Daphne headed to the kitchen when her mom passed her the small clear box. "There you go." The girl smiled softly, making her way back to the group.
