With everything cleaned and done for the day, I spend a moment just sitting outside on the bench overlooking the fields, watching the clouds as they pass overhead.
May's chubby little legs struggle to catch up, but I pretend not to notice the slight gasping I hear coming from her direction.
"Auntie Diane!"
The child exclaims, wheezing the moment she finishes calling out to me.
It seems she's been in a hurry to get here.
May dashes across the path that leads from the mansion, to the bench, and I sit there with a neutral expression as she half-collapses beside me with a bright, adorable laugh.
I glance down at the energetic little one and smile softly, extending a hand out to pet her on the head. "Oh, May joined me~"
I say, as if I didn't hear her.
She giggles and scrunches her face in joy as I run my fingers through her hair. "Auntie Dianeee~~! Ehehe..."
