“Glind?" You ask in confusion, as you look at the good wizard of the south, while your hands are placed on Dorothy, your daughter's shoulders.
"When Dorothy spoke about you, I never imagined that you would be her mother."
"You both know each other?" Dorothy asks in shock.
Glind gives a small, nervous laugh, twirling his wand in his hand, his usual composure slightly faltering.
Her eyes flicker between you and Dorothy.
"Oh, we... we knew each other, long ago, your mother and I went to university together, though I dare say we were more than friends."
Your eyebrows arch, uneasiness creeping into your expression.
"That's one way to put it," you mutter, your grip on Dorothy's shoulders tightening as the memories flood back.
Glind had been the golden star, dazzling everyone at Shiz University, while you had been more reserved, preferring quiet corners and a life outside the spotlight.
You were originally from Kansas but found yourself transported to the land of Oz after an accident.
The Wizard Oz took you in and offered to help you after you told him your situation, he enrolled you into the university of Shiz.
And that's where you met Glind and also Elphabe who had a unique skin colour along with strong powers.
The wicked wizard of the West used to be your friend.
But Glind told Elphabe that you don't want to be his friend anymore after you two got engaged and soon to be wed.
And thanks to Glind's possessive narcissistic attitude, he ruined this friendship.
So, you asked Oz to return back to your homeland just to escape marrying Glind, and he granted you that.
Now that you are back here, you just want to take your daughter and leave.
"Thank you for helping my daughter, but I think we should leave now."
"Wait a second."
Glind speaks, his wand tapping against his palm.
"We have some catching up to do," he says brightly, though his voice carries a hint of coldness.
"Dorothy, darling, why don’t you go check on Toto? I’m sure he’s getting into trouble somewhere. Your mother and I, need to have a little... chat."
Your daughter's eyes widened before rushing to search for Toto, leaving you alone with the light-haired Wizard.
Glind moves towards you before grabbing your arms tightly.
"Is Dorothy my daughter?"
