Chapter 59
Zane and I were glad that Willow could talk to us.
“And then?” I asked.
Willow pouted, Inoking disappointed. “Mommy, how do I tell my classmates that you made all those amazing drawings for me?”
She wanted to show off but just didn’t know how.
“What if you wrote in the book that I drew these pictures?” I suggested.
Willow frowned even more. “I can’t write, and they probably can’t read, either!”
I was taken aback. She had a point. Kindergartens these days didn’t emphasize teaching reading and writing. We needed to come up with a different solution.
“Why not ask Daddy? He might have some ideas,” I said.
“Okay.” Willow still looked pretty down. It seemed she didn’t have much hope for Zane either. She shuffled over to the bedroom door
and knocked.
“Come in,” Zane called out. His tone was cold, like a strict boss.
I glanced at Willow, who slowly opened the door, walked over to Zane, and shared her problem.
Zane thought briefly before carefully suggesting, “What if we get a small speaker? You could record your message and let it play on a loop”
Willow’s face lit up right away, “That’s perfect, Daddy!”
Without waiting for Zane to say no, she started tugging him downstairs. I followed right behind them.
Zane couldn’t help but smile at Willow’s excitement. “We can ask someone to help us buy it.”
Willow tilted her head, looking at Zane with curiosity. He pulled out his phone, quickly placed the order, and completed the payment. Someone accepted it almost right away.
With her problem solved, Willow happily returned to her room, took off her little slippers, and climbed into bed. I sat beside her and read a bedtime story
Kids like her didn’t have many worries. Before I could finish the short story, she was already breathing steadily. It looked like she had fallen asleep.
