He looks up, his dark, earnest eyes wide and searching, his lips pressed into a thin, resolved line. "Mama," he begins, his voice barely above a whisper. He takes a small, steadying breath. "Can... can I exchange this plushie for a ball? I'll give it to you. If you give me the ball." He holds his breath, the plushie a soft, worn anchor in his trembling hands.
