Rose PoV
I removed my hair clip and kept staring at it.
Anis gooed and reached over to touch it. A small smile dotted her face.
"Do you like it? It's pretty, isn't it, baby?"
"Li Ma!" Anis said, looking up at me.
I felt all warm and fuzzy at Anis's innocent declaration. Her words, simple as they were, carried a depth of love that only a child could express.
"Thank you, sweetheart," I said softly. "It means a lot that you think so."
Tasuku chuckled as he took control of his and Milo's shared body. "My niece knows beauty when she sees it!"
I blushed and held the hairpin closer to Anis, allowing her tiny fingers to explore its smooth surface and the intricate design of the amethyst and rose quartz.
Anis giggled, seemingly satisfied with her exploration, and her attention soon shifted back to Pingu. "Pingu li!"
I giggled. "He likes my hair pin too?"
"Pingui li!"
