Zoey was still lying in bed when Alexia jumped on the bed. “Wake up, mom! You have to get ready!” she said excited while she jumped up and down on the bed.
“Go away” Zoey muttered and she pulled the sheets over her head.
Alexia let herself fall on the bed and lifted up the sheet so she could see her mother’s face. “Did you forget about the wedding?” she asked reproachful.
“No” Zoey said. “We’re just not going”
“But we have to go. Aunty Daphne will be so sad if we don’t” Alexia said a little upset.
“Aunty Daphne doesn’t like mommy very much right now” Zoey said diplomatic.
“But I want to go!” Alexia protested. “I want to be flower girl”
Zoey sat up and sighed. “Honey, I’m afraid Aunty Daphne already has a flower girl” she said careful. “But I’m sure if you ask her nicely she’ll let you do it”
“So, we’re going?” Alexia asked, excited again.
“Yes, we’re going” Zoey confirmed and she came out of bed to get ready.
