[ Wanda withdraws her hand and clasps her hands tightly in her lap. She doesn't look at him, keeping her head tilted up slightly as she looks at anywhere but him. She won't let him ruin the park, especially when the weather's so nice and slightly warm and the sky isn't as dark and clouded with smoke as it has been over the last few weeks. She can pretend that this is a normal day in the park rather than some miracle.
But he always has to ruin it. Or maybe she does with her expectations that he won't always leave her behind.
She sits up straight and still doesn't look at him. She wishes for someone to look their way as though that's something of protection, and she finds that Jelka glances at them for the first time, even if her gaze doesn't stay. ]
Maybe you should stay with Zrinka. Have a nice time. Celebrate your birthday. [ With a decisive little nod, ] I will be fine at home.
