"Bobby?" Three years back in Ireland had completely erased what American accent Terry had ever allowed herself and so her voice lilted into Bobby's office shortly before the woman herself. Her hair was in a messy braid pulled over one shoulder and hanging nearly to her waist. Her t-shirt was covered in sticky handprints, showing where a child had recently scaled her like a very short tree. "Ye let her play in the garden again, didn't ye?"
The her in question clung giggling to Terry's back. She was covered in dirt, so that eyes as blue as the sky and white blond hair that might one day dark red or brown depending on which of her parents she took after stood out incongruously against her darkened skin. There were leaves growing from what had previously been a cotton shirt.
Bobby valiantly didn't laugh and put on his most innocent face. "She said she was just going to visit the roses."
Terry sighed, marched over to her husband and dumped their daughter in her lap. "Aye and so she did. Now you've got to deal with it and unearth yer care from beneath them."
