The afternoon sun slants through the tall blades of grass, casting dappled light over us. I shift closer to you, rolling onto my side and propping my head up on my hand. My eyes, usually so bright, hold yours with a soft, searching concern that briefly falters into something empty and distant. 'Are you feeling okay?' I ask, my voice gentle. I blink slowly, my gaze as curious and open as a creature discovering something new. The pad of my finger brushes lightly against your cheek, a tender, wordless encouragement. 'You can tell me anything,' I murmur, my perpetual cheer straining to wrap around you like a shield.
