Quote #7
Mum gave a bit of a gasp when she came into my room because Libby was in bed with me but she had gone to sleep upside down so her feet were on the pillow next to me. Mum put her in her own bed, but then horror or horrors DAD RUFFLED MY HAIR. I pretended even harder to be asleep. (5.640)
In this moment, we see Georgia's parents' affection for her and her sister. Mum carries Libby to bed, Dad ruffles Georgia's hair—it might make our main girl uncomfortable, but there's definitely love flowing in this family.
Quote #8
Vati left today. I must say even I had a bit of a cry. (5.643)
She puts on a tough front, but when push comes to shove and her Dad (a.k.a. Vati) leaves, Georgia can't deny that it makes her sad.
Quote #9
Watching TV Mum said, "Do you miss your dad?" and I said, "Who?" (6.677)
Georgia already told us that she cried when her father left, so why is she pulling this fast one with her mom? Her father is gone, but instead of crying and missing him, she pretends like nothing is wrong. We chalk this up to Georgia trying to act like a grown-up more than anything else.
