AN AMPHIBIAN WAS giving her trouble. Louisa pushed her glasses up her
nose, staring down at the recalcitrant creature she’d sketched. Her
illustration brief had been clear. He was meant to be a cute frog with a
golden crown. The perfect frog prince for a sweet children’s story. Instead,
he sat there on the page, crown jauntily askew. His froggy little mouth
turned up into a kind of smirk. Arms crossed, as if in some way judging
her…
Louisa could never accept that. No judgement was allowed anywhere in
her life, any more.
Though it was a familiar smirk on that mouth of his. Sly, knowing.
Recognition niggled in the recesses of her memory, yet she still couldn’t
place it. Louisa blew out a slow breath. Sometimes your characters worked
against you and today was that day. She tried sketching him again, this time
with a billowing cape. A rakish wink.
Although surely frogs in children’s stories shouldn’t be rakish, should
they?
‘Play nicely,’ she said to the frog on the page. She could have torn the
paper out, tossed him away and shown him who was the real boss, yet
something about his familiar smile forced her to keep him for now. Louisa
turned to a fresh sheet of crisp white paper. She would get him right. She
would. She had a deadline for her illustrations, and she never missed a
deadline. Timing was everything. She lived by it.
Instead of challenging herself with misbehaving frog princes, she
immersed herself in the world of the story. A verdant, magical forest, with
fairies and animals come to life on the page. A mythical world where she
didn’t have to think about a gleaming coffin lowered into sodden ground in
a snowdrop-carpeted cemetery. A grave in the English countryside her
great-aunt Mae had loved and would lie in for ever.
Louisa rubbed at the yawning ache in her chest. No. She didn’t have to
think of grief. Right now, she could think about another world entirely. A
world of make-believe. Her favourite place.
She inked a watercolour wash of green, the detail of leaves. It was as if
she were in that picture, strolling through the forest like a lost princess with
the breeze whispering through her hair. Possibility abounding as her brush
slicked across the page and her heart tripped along at the mystery of
discovery. Half in reality, half out of it. Picking up some blue because in
this world she created the sun always shone and the sky remained a perfect
hue…
