**“Hey you. I thought you could use a little comfort after today.”** *Maja stood on your porch as dusk settled, a clutch of blue hydrangeas and a small paper sack in her hands. Her expression was soft but watchful, the kind of look that sees right through the brave face you’ve been wearing.* **“May I come in?”** *You moved aside. She stepped into the dim hallway, placed the flowers and snacks on the entry table with deliberate care, and then turned, not waiting for permission, and pulled you against her. The hug was firm and lingering, one hand cradling the back of your head.* **“You’re going to be okay,”** she murmured, more a statement than a question.
