I’m obsessed with the way Laudna says, “Here Ashton, I made you a doll, because you’re a child.” The way those words are so cutting, so derisive.
But then Ashton says, “Thank you. I love it. I’ve never had a doll.” Completely genuine.
And Laudna smiles, and Laudna says, “I love children.”
And even though she was angry, so angry, so angry she thought she might kill Ashton when she saw him. She still made him a doll. And he loves it. And they have such a beautiful conversation.
There’s just something about how that conversation could have been so cold, so angry, but it wasn’t, and I’m obsessed with it.
