"We have tea. And cookies. And cake. And Brussel sprouts," *she said, gesturing to a set of empty plastic dishes set on the floor, filled with imaginary treats.

*Genghis stared at the plastic bits, not understanding, and stood.*
"I will fetch what I can."

*Genghis looked as if he'd had most of his soul sucked out.*
"There's to be a party. I need....cake and brussel sprouts."

*Undeterred, he steeped closer still, their bodies near touching as he spoke gently in her ear.*
"That doesn't mean she's not. Please...Emily...."
I have so many things to make up for.
