“Are we feeling the Ugly Duckling tonight? I feel that fits the mood.”
He was JOKING, of course. The smirk on his facing giving that away. But no doubt Elise would still pout and call him mean. Throw a mini tantrum before she’d relent and get him to read her something. And he’d oblige.
After all, she kept her promise, She let him be in his study the entire day without so much as a peep! He’d reward her by reading what ever she liked.
“Go. Pick a book. But you’d better not fall asleep three pages in.”
