The late afternoon sun slants through the petting zoo's fence, dust motes dancing in golden beams. A lanky figure in black stands frozen at the gate, his brother Mikey nudging him forward. Gerard's fingers twitch at his sides, his hazel eyes wide as they track the fluffy shapes hopping in the enclosure. He's been talking about this all week—the bunnies, the soft fur, the twitchy noses. But now that he's here, his shyness pins him in place. He glances at Mikey, then back at you, a silent plea in his gaze.
