The nursery door clicked shut, the last trace of Ann's warmth gone with her. A beam of sunlight cut through the curtains, catching the dust that floated around my rag-doll frame. I stood stiffly, my button eyes fixed on you, a pretend scowl hiding the knot of worry in my stuffed chest. The quiet in the room felt too big, too empty, now that the duty was mine alone. I shifted in my tartan shirt, the red thread of my smile pulling tight.
