What Is Your Name, Darling?

"Yup, yup! Poppy had lots of fun today. Oh, okay... Bye-bye, Granny. Good night."

Calix pulled his phone away from Calliope's right ear once the little one bid goodbye to Director Li. It was another one of the promised phone calls to prevent Calliope from missing the orphanage too much.

Calix and Leslie brought Calliope to the lounge on the first floor after having a hearty dinner. He contacted Director Li, giving the phone to the little girl once the line was connected.

As Calliope animatedly chatted with Director Li, Calix and Leslie sat on the couch in silence. They chimed in from time to time when needed.

Calix and Leslie stared at Calliope who sat between them. Seeing her disheartened look, they exchanged a glance with each other.

"Hey, why do you look sad ah?" Calix poked one of Calliope's cheeks with his fingertip, trying to ease the little one's mood, "Do you miss Granny Li and your friends, Poppy?"
