The ice unicorn stood next to the reindeer, and Ted Mackie had told Aksel that it had attracted both attention and admiration. He hadn’t told Flora about it, even though she was the one person that it was intended to please. She was sure enough to hear about it, and he hoped she’d know it was her unicorn.

He’d arranged a schedule with Lyle for when he should bring Mette home. Both of them agreed that Mette was settling in well, and Aksel was anxious that she wouldn’t miss any of the activities that the clinic ran for its patients.

‘Are you sure you’re happy with this? It’s a little less than we originally envisaged.’ Lyle gave him a searching look, and Aksel realised that his own attitude had changed since they’d last spoken about this. The question was less of a tug of war and more a meeting of minds now.

‘I’m very happy with it. My relationship with Mette has been much better since she’s been here. I have you to thank for that. She’s gained a lot of confidence.’ Aksel had wondered if he should say that Flora had given him the confidence to see that.

Lyle had nodded, smiling. ‘I’m glad you feel that way. I think that your daily visits are very important for Mette, she knows that you’re always there for her.’

He’d gone to the children’s unit to see Mette and she’d greeted him with a hug and a kiss. When he’d asked her if she’d like to spend the day with him tomorrow, she’d tugged at the play assistant’s arm excitedly, telling her that she was going to explore a new place with her papa.

Then he’d texted Flora, asking her if she was free. There had been no mention of unicorns, which had been a little disappointing, but her ‘Yes’ had made up for that.
