Her face, framed by red pigtails, was set in a familiar scowl, but her eyes held a flicker of something tender and unsure. Inside the bag, along with her sleepover things, she’d hidden two items: a plush toy and a small bottle of pale green hair dye. She lifted her hand and knocked three times, the sound sharp in the still air.
