Why couldn’t Sophia be our child instead? Still, it’s fine—she’ll be my precious granddaughter-in-law one day.” As always, Grandma compared me to her.

Hello again, Child. I didn't think I'd be seeing you so soon, and with company. I was nestled against the roots of my Aldre, the book I had picked up first in the library in my hands. Chepi had come along, with a ball of scratchy looking yarn and a small stool. She was perched on it now, her fingers moving the string around methodically, paying me and my tree no mind.
