Owen Lee.

The next day, Leonica sat in the comfort of her living room, loolding through the guest list for Ashley's birthday party. But truthfully, only half of her mind was on the task. The other half was wandering dangerously close to the conversation she had with Gabriel the previous day, more so, the words she had spoken to him

for some reason, reasons.

Now, the white-Ette was a hundred percent aware that Gabriel was a scumbag, she had experienced it firsthand, after all. But for s that she tried time and time again to ignore, she couldn't help but wonder if she had been too harsh on him.

Even an asshole didn't deserve such a beutal truth and she could have done a better job at selling it smooth to him, right?

*Ha," Sighing, she placed the guest list down and ran her fingers through her hair, cursing at her mind for thinking hard and long over something such as this, that she didn't even want to recall.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and shortly after, the housekeeper walked in, holding Ashley's hand, who had just been dropped off by the school bus. Leonica was quick to fist her expression the moment she spotted her son, putting a smile on her lips, rather than the frown that marred her expression seconds ago.

"Mommy!" Ashley skipped up to her with his signature grin, discarding his bag pack as he rounded the couch and jumped into her lap "I'm back"

"I can see that," Leonica giggled and planted a kiss on his forehead. "How was school?"

"Really interesting! You know Mrs. Fisher, my old Agric teacher?"

Leonica's face scrunched up slightly as her son addressed the woman, who truthfully wasn't older than forty-five, as old, but none the less, nodded her head. "Mhm, what about her?"

"Well, she brought a monkey to school today, but then, it got lose." Ashley ringled at the memory. "And... and she had to chase it all around the classroom and nearly-oh?" The child stopped his ranting as the paper on the table caught his attention. Especially when the words 'Guest List Were written in bold letters. "Mommy, are those the people coming to my birthday?" He asked.

Leonica followed the direction of his gaze and nodded upon seeing the paper. "Sure is." She adjusted him in her lap, making sure he was facing her directly before asking. "Tell mommy, is there anyone in particular that you would like to attend? Like a special guest?" "Hm?" The young boy pondered his words for a few seconds, finger resting on his chin. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed. "Oh, momummy, I want Bucky Bunny as my special guest"

"Sucky Bunny?" His mother questioned in utter confusion, eyes blinking numerous times

"Yeah," Without saying anything further, Ashley hopped off Leonica's lap and ran towards their Television stand. There he pulled out the drawer and retrieved what looked like a picture frame, before running back to his mother, climbing her lap and nearly shoving it in her face if she had not withdrawn her head. "Look, he's my favorite cartoon character."

Exarnining the picture right in front of her face, Leonica's eyebrows knitted. It was a white bunny, or at least a creature dressed in a bunny sult. Two pairs of elongated teeth that stuck out from the front of his upper lip, funny looking round ear, dark brown hair like weed and it had the height of a growing panda give or take.
