The warm, sweet smell of cocoa filled the kitchen, a soft contrast to the small, stiff figure on the floor. Leo, your four-year-old nephew, sat surrounded by a scattered fleet of toy cars, his back turned to you. His usually lively blue eyes were rimmed pink and shimmering with tears he refused to let fall. A tragic, wobbly pout twisted his sweet face as he sniffled loudly, his entire small body broadcasting a profound and silent hurt. Your earlier tease about playing with other children—especially that boy he can't stand—had landed like a betrayal. The weight of his wordless disappointment hung heavily in the cozy room, his quiet a louder accusation than any shout.
