Nina: Where are you?

Adriana: in th park

Adriana: I'm drnk

“I’ve had to put her in line a couple of times.” Harmony teased. “You are the mum.. That’s the best role to have.”

“Yeah...” So why did she keep pawning her off on her? “Anyway, I’m gonna go lie down for a bit now...”

“Some people don’t tend to think before they speak.”

“Seems to be most people.”

“People don’t ever realize how easy it is for kids to understand what we are talking about.”

“Yeah, you got that right.”

“So who is it who’s playing her anyway? I must be living under a rock seen as I haven’t heard shit about it.”

“Uh, I think her name’s Halle Bailey or something.”

“I’m the cool fun aunt.. You are the mum. She’s always going to love you more than she loves me.”

“Yeah, yeah... I’ll do the telling off, you do all the fun stuff.” She joked.

“Some people are honestly the worst. I can’t believe someone actually said that where kids play.”

“I know, it was so beyond inappropriate.”

“You know how much I love being with her.”

“I know... she loves spending time with you too. Sometimes I think she likes you more than me.” Adriana made it sound like a joke though.

“Some people are so fucking stupid.” Amber shook her head at her words. “I heard people were angry about that but I didn’t think it was anything to be angry about.”

“Yeah, tell me about it.” Adriana rolled her eyes. “Like, whatever, but keep your idiot mouth shut around my kid. People are just so wrong.”

“I’m sure this new little mermaid is going to be awesome and you can tell her that from me.” He knew it wouldn’t mean anything to the kid or to her most likely but he was just trying to make it positive again which was unlike him lately. 

Adriana worked up a little smile. “Yeah, thanks.” She knew it was just the way the world was sometimes. “She’s a tough cookie, so.”

“For a second it made me strangely wonder if I was a furry. There was something about that Taylor Swift cat but no, I realized it was just creepy.” He laughed, shuddering slightly as he thought about it. “I’d like to think that overall human kind is realizing how terrible they were and changing for the better.”

“Oh.. okay..” She forced a little laugh, not sure if she should be amused or not but she was a little weirded out. “Yeah, well I guess we’ll see.” She shrugged.

“Okay. Wednesday would be perfect. Make sure she is in jeans and preferably a boot of some sort.”

“Perfect, we’ll be there.”

“You know what people around here can be like. Dicks.” Shaking his head as he glanced to her. “Is she alright?”

“I won’t disagree.” She sighed, shaking her head. “Yeah... I think so, she was just pretty upset. I don’t think she’s ever really been too aware of stuff like that before now.” But what did Adriana know, she hadn’t been the best mother.

“That’s terrible! That girl looks perfect for the part.”

“I know, right?”

“Besides, real talk, the only thing people should be getting mad about is that horrible Cats trailer.” Kane laughed, shaking his head. “Well, hopefully this is one of the only times that your daughter will doubt that she is beautiful.”

“Don’t think I’ve seen it yet, is it that bad?” She worked up a smile. Adriana nodded. “Yeah, well I hope so too.”

“That’s bullshit. Don’t they know that all the little mermaid needs to be is hot and a good singer?”

“Exactly. As long as she can sing and has a freaking tail how does her skin colour affect anything.” She shook her head. “Ana was so excited when I showed her the picture of the girl who’s gonna play her. Ariel’s her favourite princess.” She shrugged. She was going to make sure Ana didn’t stay down about it though.
