Love Story (As a GIRL)

You chose to mingle with the small childrens' parents. They only look about 5 years older than you!
You sit on the same park bench as them, but you keep your distance.
The woman looks at you and smiles warmly.
"Why hello!" She could tell you were nervous. "I'm Linda. This is my husband, John. I know it's weird that I'm talking to you and you don't know me, but-"
You cut in quietly.
"You know me, then?" You whisper softly.
"Oh, Ella, dear, it's been so long. I was your mother's best friend. I haven't seen you since you were a baby..."
"How would you know that was me then?" You are curious.
"Well, Ella, you are a spitting image of your mother. If you were a complete stranger, that would have gotten weird..." She trailed off.
