what Ā the Ā little Ā one Ā forgets Ā to Ā realize Ā is Ā that Ā she Ā will Ā never Ā be Ā invisible Ā to Ā him Ā . Ā ever Ā since Ā she Ā was Ā born Ā there Ā has Ā been Ā an Ā inherent Ā need Ā to Ā protect Ā her Ā that Ā thor Ā never Ā could Ā have Ā anticipate Ā he Ā would Ā ever Ā possess Ā . Ā Ā Ā it Ā is Ā so Ā raw Ā and Ā natural Ā that Ā he Ā will Ā always Ā know Ā where Ā she Ā is Ā , Ā much Ā to Ā her Ā dislike Ā . Ā ā Ā Ā Ā iāve Ā played Ā these Ā games Ā , Ā my Ā child Ā , Ā with Ā my Ā own Ā mother Ā when Ā i Ā was Ā a Ā boy Ā . Ā i Ā do Ā know Ā all Ā the Ā skills Ā you Ā possess Ā as Ā i Ā am Ā the Ā one Ā that Ā has Ā passed Ā them Ā on Ā to Ā you Ā , Ā ā Ā he Ā says Ā absentmindedly Ā picking Ā up Ā one Ā of Ā her Ā pencils Ā to Ā twirl Ā it Ā in Ā his Ā fingers Ā . Ā Ā Ā his Ā eyes Ā glimpse Ā over Ā the Ā page Ā she Ā is Ā working Ā on Ā with Ā a Ā smile Ā before Ā he Ā leans Ā over Ā to Ā gently Ā lift Ā her Ā chin Ā upward Ā to Ā fix Ā her Ā avoidant Ā gaze Ā . Ā Ā Ā ā Ā Ā Ā you Ā are Ā very Ā talented Ā , Ā my Ā little Ā dove Ā and Ā you Ā will Ā undoubtedly Ā master Ā them Ā , Ā but Ā these Ā things Ā take Ā time Ā . Ā iām Ā sure Ā your Ā papa Ā will Ā tell Ā you Ā that Ā he Ā couldnāt Ā sketch Ā so Ā masterfully Ā overnight Ā . Ā āĀ / /Ā @tove-thorsdottirĀ &&Ā @loialte

Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Urgh, father sees right through her little tactic. Tove scowls down at her sketchpad because she thinks he, of all people, should know how terrible bedtime is if he truly tried to avoid it as well when he was a boy. She grumpily lifts her head when he touches her chin, eyes darting over to papa at the sound of a book being closed, but he, too, fails to help her out. Darn it. Tove sits up and crosses her legs (because she doesn't intend to go to bed anytime soon but at least attempts to show good will by moving an inch). "You promise?" Tove asks, waving the sketchpad with the ugly hands. Honestly, don't they have anything else to do or focus on? Some boring political matters, for example. A rebellion! Anybody else but her. Her friend Throas laments his parents' missing attention sometimes with his sister being the pride of the family and the new baby growing in his mother's belly, but Tove would switch positions in a heartbeat because she is pretty certain nobody sends Throas to bed at 8 PM every day. ----oh. Isn't that a fantastic question? "Throas' mother is nearly round as a ball; I saw her today. Maybe she is getting twins!" She adds a tiny pause, then furrows her brows. "Am I ever going to get a brother or sister?"
