Oh, she wanted to want him. But she didnât.
No matter how beautiful the princeâs eyes were, she missed her frogâs faithful gaze. She hadnât even said goodbye to him this morning. Maybe he thought she wasnât coming back. And suddenly that wasnât what she wanted at all.
She picked up her ball and her bag. Came up with a stammered excuse. The prince didnât make much of an effort to stop her.
In the front garden, she could already hear her father laughing, and the frog happily croaking along. Inside, it smelled of toast and chocolate milk and three pairs of eyes looked up at her happily.
âHello, darling,â her father said. âYouâve been out for such a long time.â
âAhâ¦â she said, putting down her bag under the coatrack. âIt wasnât that long, was it?â
âIt did seem long,â said the frog. âBut youâre back now.â
Her mother stood up. âIâll go and start the dinner.â
âWant me to help?â
âNo need. You can do the dishes afterwards.â
âThen Iâll do the drying.â Her frog jumped onto her arm and snuggled into the crook of her elbow. âSo, how about we give it another try before dinner?â he croaked quietly. âI have a feeling it might work today. Donât you think?â
The girl looked at his little green body, his wide mouth. No, she didnât think it would work, actually. But she gave him a smile.
âYes, letâs do that,â she said.
