"No, no, no, Stephanie!" He was getting anxiety here. She had no survival instincts. "You don't open the door for anyone when you are alone, all right? Ever. Anyway, I can let myself in. And I'll know when it is safe to come. I always know everything I need to know."
And if she wanted to believe he was magical, what harm could that too? Edward packed away the hair he'd taken, then gently petted her hair. "Close your eyes and sleep well. What is it that no one's seen yet, but always is to be? You'll see me again then."
"Mom tells me to just open the damn door..." Especially when it was knocking loud and she didn't want to get out of bed. She didn't know that she wasn't supposed to. She curled into herself and smiled at Edward, hoping she didn't upset him too much. "I'll be really careful. I'll only open the door if mom tells me to, I promise."
She would be a good kid, she would make sure that she was worthy of her fairy Godfather. Maybe then she could get away from her dumb dad.
