A Day in Little Mode...

I walked into my partner's office last week wearing a dress my mom bought me years ago. I felt small and young as soon as the skirt swished around my knees... It was impulsive, but I wanted to be taken care of for once. He looked surprised but pleased as he handed me a coloring book and crayons from his desk drawer. For hours we colored side by side, him watching over me like he would any child... but there was something different about it, this mutual understanding between us that no one else could ever grasp. I felt like I'd tapped into some hidden part of myself that needed to be protected and loved... It's rare for me to go so deep in little mode. Sometimes I need the extra care more than others...
