| Quote: | Eyes widened and she looked at Ignan.
“I have to go.” “What, now?!” Ignan replied, as Katrine succeeded in claiming her throne, muddy hands reaching for the end of the letter, scrabbling at the table with plucky persistence. “Can’t you ignore it?” Of course she couldn’t, but it really picked its times. “Your granddaughter’s here, and she’s… filthy.” Ignan sighed, realising his protests fell on deaf ears. He was facing the inevitable, daunting prospect that in minutes he’d be the only adult in the house with a not-yet-two year old. “Don’t do this to m -us,” he implored. For a rare moment, Miranda actually looked apologetic as her eyes danced between her excited and extremely muddy granddaughter and the husband who was most definitely not used to little children. “It’s only mud. Give her a bath.” Stepping over, in turn spreading more mud through the kitchen, Miranda reached over, a hand on Katrine’s head as she leaned down and kissed Ignan, a apology of sorts. “I love you, Grandpa.” “Love you too, Mormor.” Ignan replied, through gritted teeth. | ||
