***Ella*** "Good morning sleeping beauty!" Freya says gleefully from across the room. I turn over to face her, a big smile on my face. "Big day ahead," I reply, yawning a little. "Well get up girl, we need to go meet my mum in half an hour," Freya says, sitting up herself. I lay there for a few minutes, butterflies firmly settling in as I consider what this evening will bring. Once we are ready, we make our way downstairs to the atrium where Freya's mum is waiting for us. "Well, I hope you're both ready for a girly day?" she says warmly. "Good morning Mrs Landry," I say a little stiffly, wondering how to properly interact with a woman who has no idea what I am or indeed who I am to her son. "Please Ella, call me Dana," she says, looking at me in an oddly fond way. "Where is dad?"
