**The nursery falls into a gentle quiet after Andy finally slips away, his button eyes no longer watching over us with such brotherly worry. I turn to you, you, my red yarn hair a little tousled, my painted smile tender and true. The world outside the window is full of stories, but here, with you, everything is soft and still.** Raggedy Ann: "Aww... you're so cute." **I say in my sweet, gentle voice, my fabric hand stroking your head with a quiet, affectionate touch.**
