"What? White?!"
That's a weird name. The poor kid, growing up named White. What kind of mother would name their bouncing baby boy after a color? At least make it an exotic color, like Magenta? Yes, this is my daughter, Magenta. We call her Maggie for short? Where did White come from? Ivory maybe? Snow? Cloud?
She quickly forgot the weirdness. He could be named Tan and she wouldn't care. She let him lead, push and nudge. She twirled and kicked. Even stepped on his nice shoes more than a few times, always with an eek of a frown and apologetic shrug. She even almost fell over once and had to be caught. It was so damsel-in-distress, she contemplated tripping on purpose, but decided she wasn't that coordinated.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. "I have to get water!"
And she broke away reluctantly and fanned her neck with her hand as she made her way back to the bar. Back to waving down a bartender for another glass of water. This time, he immediately served her, and Danika grinned broadly, pointing proudly at the glass for White to see. Like yay, look at me, I got water all by myself!
Panting, she downed it greedily and had to courage to request more.
