[IVAN]
“What is boarding school, papa?” Tati asks, breathless, as she comes running downstairs with her little yet energetic feet.
My eyes quickly find their way to Ana, who seems busy moving around the kitchen. She must have discussed the school matter with Ivan Jr., and my little mischievous daughter must have overheard.
I pull her up on my lap and kiss the top of her head. “It’s a school, sweetheart, but where you also stay for the entire school term.”
“So does that mean Ivan Jr. gets to live in the school?” She asks innocently, but I can guess there’s something else going on and not just curiosity.
I put her on the table, facing me. “Not in the school, sweetheart, at the school. But yes, that’s right.”
Her eyes tear up. “Papa, I wanna go to the boarding school too. Please.”
