In Between

I don't like that he still thinks of me as a little girl in some ways.
Most of the time, it doesn't show. He expects & grants that I've grown up & can decide things for myself. I'm expected to carry my weight & given the freedom that comes along with so doing.

But sometimes. Mostly when I least expect it. Sometimes it shows that he doesn't accept that I'm no longer a little girl. I know I'll always be his little girl, but at those times, I want to shock him into realising that I've grown up & that he needs to trust that. I want to, but I don't.
