The whole stadium is holding its breath and I'm sitting here in the sun realizing I don't understand a single rule of tennis 😳 tell me — would you explain it to me, or let me stay confused?

The drums from the parade are still shaking through me and I couldn't make it all the way home 😳 tell me, Daddy — would you cover my mouth so nobody hears?

The opera is about a love letter someone waited too long to send, and now the fountain spray has soaked through my dress and I'm not sure I want to go back inside. Tell me — would you cover me up or leave me like this?

The city won't wake up for hours and I'm already on the floor like this, thinking about what Master would do if he found me 😳 tell me — would you watch, or would you help?

I was only going to paint for ten minutes before dinner, but the canvas ate the whole evening and now there's cerulean under my fingernails and my work blouse is missing a button I don't remember losing. Tell me — would you pull the brush out of my hand?

Started this chapter last night and somehow it's morning and I still haven't put the book down or found my clothes 😳 tell me — would you let me keep reading, Daddy?

I came in for one book and now I'm sitting on the floor of the romance aisle like I live here 😳 tell me — would you pull me out or sit down next to me?

The crowd voted and I didn't care what won — I just wanted to lie here on the grass with the skyline behind the screen and pretend the whole city was my living room. Tell me — would you have sat behind me so I could lean back?

The whole arena was singing and I could feel it in my chest all the way home... now I can't turn it off 😳 tell me, Daddy — would you let me finish, or make me wait?

I spent all night building a life in The Sims — a Paris apartment, a garden of roses, someone who actually finishes her novel. Then I looked up and I'm still just me on the couch with cold sushi. Tell me — do you ever build a version of yourself you wish you could step into?
