“You can always count on me.”
“I don’t suppose I can convince you to stay here, can I... Just call me the second you get there, okay?”
“Here, have my jacket.”
“I might not be your mother, but when she’s out, I call the shots.”
“What were you thinking, running off like that?!”
“Trust me, I know what’s best.”
“I know you have a lot of questions, but it is better if you don’t know the answers.”
“And where do you think you’re going, young lady?”
“Please, I practically invented the ‘pillows under the blanket’ technique, don’t think that will fool me.”
“You’re not alone in this.”
“It’s better if you stay here, where it’s safe. I’ll be back before you know it.”
“What happened in here?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you rewrap them - our parents will never know you opened your presents week before your birthday. Just act surprised when you open them for real, okay?”
“Would it feel better if you hold my hand?”
“Do you need help with your homework?”
“How did you even get into this mess?”
“Let me help you with that.”
“Please be more careful...”
“Do you need to hold onto me?”
“So for how long have you known this guy?”
