Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

"Did you invite your new friend to breakfast?" I smiled at Ava.

"Yes, I did." Ava nodded seriously, then ran over. "I'll have breakfast with her. Mommy, how long can she stay with us?"

"When she returns from the business trip with me, she can stay here," I said casually.
