What in God's name did she just say?

I looked in bewilderment at the figure before me, someone I called a friend for years and confided in for everything that happened to me. Dae, a name that became a past tense. The last time I heard that name was the day Richard's mom fell off the stairs and after that, I lost contact with her and no matter how much I tried to get to her, it was all in vain.

Watching her stand in front of Richard's door and telling me she was his girlfriend got me in a mold. I'm beyond surprised and amazed, this is just too… unbelievable.

“Okay babe, just come in. We need to catch up on things. How have you been? It's been three years babe, how's everything?” I asked smiling wildly at her as I opened the door fully to allow her into the house.

“Is that your daughter?” She asked when she saw her sleeping so peacefully and I nodded. “She's so cute, what's her name?”

“Rachel, I gave her my paternal grandmother's name” I replied.
