A PIECE OF NEXT CHAPTER.
(if you like you can tell me what you think about it)
"so . ." she says and grabs something from the floor. it's a package. "this was left from mom and dad, it was what they wanted to give you in the afternoon" she shows the package to him. carefully he takes it. "mommy and daddy, hm?" quietly he unwraps it, Emy watches him, and with every move closer to the gift her smile gets bigger and bigger, as if she knows what's inside. piece by piece paper goes off until it's completely unwrapped, she expected a big smile on his face, but instead of that he stares at the unwrapped package.
she finds it hard to read on his face what he thinks of it.
"and. . . ? what do you think of it." she looks at him piercingly, but he doesn't answer. he remains silent, still staring at the package. "it's kind of nice" he then says as he looks at a dirigible car. "I guess. . ." he adds.
he very often asked for a controllable car, but honestly he had wanted to unwrap this with his parents, but he didn't like the gift as much as he expected what his reaction would be. he takes the car out of the box. "Can I hit you with it?"
she laughs at his response "no, rather not". "it wasn't really a question really, whether it was a yes or no, I would have done it anyway" he looks at her, "you know that right? Emy"
