Chapter 72

Putting the finishing touches on her niece's makeup, Bambi stepped back and smiled. "Don't you look darling, lambkin."

"She looks like she's ready to go clubbing," grumbled Auric as he entered his daughter's room - also nicknamed the pink monstrosity. "You do realize she's a child."

"And?" Perusing Lucinda's face, Bambi couldn't see what his problem was. "I used pink for her lips and, look, mascara this time instead of fake lashes."

"Did it ever occur to you to just put her hair in braids and not put any makeup on her at all?"

At his complaint, Lucinda giggled. "Oh, Daddy. You're silly. Don't I look pretty?"

At the dulcet, lisped query, his face softened. "You are always beautiful, baby girl." He held out his arms, and she hopped into them. "Are you ready for your party?"

"Un-huh." She nodded her head. "I wanna dance. Auntie Bambi says she's gonna teach me to twerk."
