Two little girls on the bus with their dad. The elder (around 5ish) is having a tantrum, I have noise cancelling headphones on, wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't looked over..
The dad is inspirationally calm.
I study her, in small glances; bits of bright red in her cheeks, pouty mouth, slightly runny nose, disheveled curly mop, pink top with red dungarees and spotted sox. She is absolutely adorable.
Little sis is ignoring the whole thing, swinging her legs and looking about.
As they get off at their stop, both little girls use my arm to guide themselves down the stairs (sitting at the back, bottom, back to the driver, in the aisle)
I get the most brilliant smile and arm squeeze from both kids.
They made my heart glow a little.
