She's not sure but he's suddenly gone standoffish and cold and meanly ordering around and - did she say something wrong?
Does he want to take back his promise?
That hurts and has her chin tucking, arms folding protectively over her chest. She's not thirteen anymore. She knows she bullied him into making that promise in the first place. Has suspected for a while now that he resents her making him do that in the first place. It's just -
it's just that she wants him to be her hero. Every girl gets to have a hero and she -
she wanted him to be hers.
Because he isn't afraid to go after the difficult to catch dreams. Because he's so much braver than her that way.
Maybe she should tell him it's okay. That she's not going to hold him to a promise she forced out of him anyway.
-except she can't. It's selfish but - it's her birthday. She's allowed to be selfish for a little while longer.
