"That's because your aunt has a good temper, Mommy's temper isn't as good as your aunt's."
"Mommy..." Marilyn reached out to encircle Christine Quinn's neck.
Christine Quinn gently cupped her daughter's face, "Hmm?"
"Mommy, you have to promise me..."
"Promise you what?"
"Promise me not to argue with Daddy anymore."
Actually, a child's heart is the most fragile, and when parents argue, the first to be hurt is the child.
Christine Quinn detected the anxiety in Marie's heart. She looked up at her daughter and apologized, "Mommy guarantees that even if there are disagreements with Daddy, Mommy won't argue with Daddy. Mommy and Daddy will sit down and talk it out, alright?"
Marie snuggled into Christine Quinn's embrace, nodding vigorously.
"Mommy will apologize to Daddy later; I shouldn't have gotten physical with Daddy last night..."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh."
