How? How did she do things in one night that I’d been fighting with Killian to get done for half a cycle? If she were anyone else, I would have disliked her intensely for it. But she wasn’t anyone else. She was Magnolia. So instead, I just watched with wary wonderment as Killian came closer to where she stood, turned so that his back was to her, and plopped his bare bottom into the shallow water so that she could more easily reach his head. And then she started washing his hair. And he actually sat still and let her do it.
