Ellie smiled. "I hope so. W...what do you mean your mother doesn't love you all the time?"

"There were a lot of us...and she was really busy trying to keep up the business as well as appearances. I guess she just wasn't really focused on us. We had nannies. It was more of her coming in and kissing us goodnight before she went out on the town with Dad to some swanky party, or they'd be gone for three weeks to the Emerald City because they had business and didn't want to commute back and forth. Sometimes I really don't think my mom should have had kids, especially after my brother and I, but I think she felt like that was what she was supposed to do. Don't get me wrong, I love my siblings dearly, and look after them as if they were my own. Still, it was more like she carted them around for nine months then as soon as she could get them out of her handed them off to a Nanny and continued on her merry way."

"That's terrible" said Ellie. "I'm so sorry."

"Oh, not so terrible. I do believe people need liscences to be able to raise children, but I had everything I could ever ask for. I had more than enough to eat, shelter, and all the things that we need in life. My siblings and I also has enough love for each other to go around. I just got to play mommy more than be mommied."

"Well, you're very good at it, and I can't say I don't appreciate it" Ellie said with a smile. Why did she just want to tell Claire everything!?

"I don't know what it is about you - but I feel like I've known you forever. I've never really felt like I could trust someone before - and I don't know why I feel that way now. We barely know each other."

Claire laughed, "I have that affect on people oftentimes. I think when one is outgoing and popular everyone feels as though they've known you just because you're easy to get along with. But truly, Ellie, I feel very comfortable with you, too. It's strange...I used to only pretend, keep everyone at an arm's length, but now..." she looked at her feeling this strange familiarity she couldn't place. "It's like i've known you. It really is. Are you quite sure we've never met? That neither of us had been friends before? Not even when we were young, somehow? I feel as though I've spent a thousand days next to you..." It was a bizarre feeling she just couldn't shake. It felt like when you wake up from a dream that felt so real you'd swear it had all just happened. Had she met Ellie in a dream before? Was that what it was?
