I tell the girl whose pout only protruded the more.
“App-po- ise?” She asked, confused by the word.
“It means sorry. You should say sorry to your mom because she was worried about you.” I say, watching the girl smile before apologizing to her mom.
“I’m sorry she disturbed you, Luna. I’ll take her back now.” The woman says, taking the child from my hands.
“It’s fine, Bey is always welcome here with me.” I tell her, leaning to pinch the girl on the cheeks, watching her giggle loudly.
