ALMS TO LOVE
Liza bobbed her head, her smile small and wearied.
Fiona's mouth parched. Her throat was rusty, unsong as song. But nonetheless, she sang:
"Little pancakes on the run,
Dancing circles in the sun,
Flip and twirl and laugh with me,
Sticky hands and bended knees—"
Liza smiled softly, her eyelids fluttering shut as the song surrounded her like a nursery rhyme from another world.
"I recall that day," she whispered. "You spilled the entire plate and still managed to have fun."
"I was about to spill it," Fiona smiled. "Extra syrup for us."
