this girl is smart,   diverting the conversation from herself.   he almost admires her,   and he does,   in fact,   indulge her in the distraction,   turning his glassy gaze to the shop they currently stand in front of instead of focusing on her any longer.    ❝    that sounds like a rather bold design to be making in a cake.   i don't think i've ever actually seen such a cake before.    ❞    in pictures,   certainly,   and only from his own world.   or perhaps in paintings.   but never one from cesari's.   he moves his arms behind his back,   facing her with a keen stare.    ❝    will you be here tomorrow then,   miss  …  ?    ❞

i went into little women completely blind, with no clue what is was even about and i ended up loving every minute of it. jo is great, but i rooted for amy and laurie the whole time. of course amy was obnoxious as a child, but that's how children are. i was so excited to see them finally get together as adults. anyway i just think they're perfect for each other.
