Silver:For four whole days, it felt as though Elgin belonged only to us, me and my daughters.Nothing pulled our attention away from each other.Elgin checked on Elara from time to time, but that was all.He did not visit Rosetta, nor did he talk about her or Elara.For the first time in a long while, I felt genuinely at peace.We spent those days preparing for the skit and trying on costumes.The performance was meant to be comedic with a message.In it, our daughters would play older children while we portrayed their aging parents.One daughter played the troublemaker.She insisted she was not really our child because we supposedly did not care about her.The other daughter, playing the sensible one, would immediately call out the lie.She would produce a DNA test and prove that we were her real parents, leaving the first daughter embarrassed and guilty.The entire thing was ridiculous, but that was what made it so entertaining.The girls loved working together, and seeing them enjo

Elgin:"Are you talking about the same Madeline everyone calls the Savior?" she asked, looking genuinely confused."Well, she's not just a savior. She does a lot of fucked-up shit."I grew impatient, irritated by the way Rosetta spoke so highly of her."I don't know," Rosetta replied. "Just because she had babies with you and your friends doesn't make her a whore. I'm just saying that all of you were equally involved. You knew she was with someone else, so why would you–"She trailed off and shook her head."Anyway, just go and calm Elara down. And please be gentle with her.

Silver:Everything was perfect.Everyone had treated us so well, and now it was finally our turn.Elgin had changed into his costume.We were dressed as old people, whereas our daughters were dressed as mature adults.One was dressed as a lawyer, and the other as a doctor.Now we were on stage, and the performance was going great.Everybody was cheering so loudly for us.I noticed the eyes on us. People seemed so intimidated by us.Hailey, dressed as a doctor, stepped forward while Elgin and I sat on a chair, holding hands.Our hair had been dyed white with temporary dye to make us look old.Hailey looked at us with a frown."You don't care for me as much as you care for Hannah," she complained, looking adorable while trying to deliver a mature speech."That is not true," I replied, delivering my line.Everybody cheered once again.It was as if everyone wanted to stay in my good books because they knew I was the person closest to Elgin.If they ever needed a favour from him, I would p
