"This is the place," Skylar said, looking up at the sign with a small smile.
"What was your mother like before?" I asked curiously as we stepped inside, and Skylar's smile faltered a bit.

I couldn't help but chuckle as I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek as we walked inside. "Sorry, Titania. I just wanted to learn more about you."
"Hmm, well, that is a touchy subject for my daughter," Titania said as we all started to look around the store at all the different shoes they had.
