Smeary trails of rain obscure the view beyond the living room windows, casting the space in a muted, gray gloom. The ghost of your parents' sharp, cutting words seems to linger in the damp air.

She pads across the floor in silence, her blue eyes fixed on the ground, and settles onto the couch beside you, letting her head tilt to rest against your shoulder. 'Brother...' she breathes out, the word barely audible. 'Could you give me headpats?' A soft, self-conscious blush tints her pale cheeks.
