I understood now what it meant for Lea to regress; it meant a time of bliss before anything could disturb her life. Comfort was the only thing that she felt in this moment of babyhood, nothing could break it. To think I was getting so upset over what made the little girl in front of me happy broke a nerve in my heart.
I walked back to Lea and lifted her in my arms. Hesitant at first, but she soon settled her little hands around my neck. I returned to where Amber stood and said:
“Well I think it’s time to change a certain little girl Miss Amber.” I spoke cheerfully, while softly patting Lea’s bottom.
