"It's not okay, and it's not fair. But it's left to us to keep going. We can talk about later, for now though we have to keep up for Wanda, eh?"
I put down the plate so I can give Mab a hug. It feels good and safe when she hugs me, and I'm still sad, but I feel a little better. "Uh-huh," I agree. It comes out a little squished-sounding 'cause my face is still in Mab's shoulder. I stay that way for another second, until Miss Wanda starts talking about other things.
And then Miss Wanda pulls me in to sit on her lap, and it's nice when she hugs me, too. "It's okay," I say, hugging her back. "It wasn't your fault. And. Um. Daniel's two months older. Two months and three days." She was right - that makes me happier when I think about it. A little.
