"Lilo? LILO! LILO, WHERE ARE YOU?", the voice of the young woman was right before getting panicked.
"I'm here! You don't have to shout Tzip.", a little dark-haired girl looked out of the bathroom. She seemed to be quite young. Maybe four-years-old. Her dress was red and white. The eyes of the girl where brown, but had a soft and warm glow.
The young woman, called Tzip, wrapped her arms around the small body. She was a dark beauty.
"You disappeared so suddenly. Don't go away without saying."
"But... I told you... And please don't hug me!", the little girl pushed Tzip away. "I'm to old for something like that!"
A small warm and soft laugh pearled from the lips of the woman. "There is nobody to old for something like that. Come, we should eat breakfast."
Tzip took Lilo's hand and walked with her downstairs in the kitchen. She put the little girl on a chair and made breakfast. Lilo watched her working. She loved this woman. Tzip was like a mother for her. She could talk about everything to her. About everything. And she never got mad. Uhm... Well... Tzip does get mad. At him. Really often, when Lilo thought about it. She heard them yelling and shouting every night. Sometimes Tzip was away for some days after a fight like this. Lilo sighed.
"Everything alright, sweetie?", Tzip looked at her worried.
"Oh! Yes, everything is fine. I was just dreaming.", Tzip nodded and sat herself down next to Lilo.
They ate in silence. Lilo didn't like it. They always talked when they were around together. They laughed, made jokes.
"What happened?"
"Nothing Lilo, nothing."
Lilo pouted. Tzip would leave her again for some days. Why?
