“That is a beautiful name, Liselle,” Tevos replies, smiling gently. “I mean to say that I have only recently gotten to know you and that you were still a child, but that now you are a full-grown woman. …Hard to believe, is all….”
“Time flies, huh?" She smiles a little, and then steps closer to her mother. She chuckles. "I’ve been full-grown for a long time now, Mom. But I guess it’s only now that I’m actually acting like it.”
“I suppose it does.” Tevos responds with a quiet sigh. “ - I just meant that it does not feel like you are an adult, considering how little I know you…It’s a shame.”
