*Pina took Megan's hand and followed her obediently, sneaking a small smile back at her father.*
*Settled comfortably in her mama's lap, she asked,* "Where are going?"

"Well, you wanted me to do Mirabelle's hair first, didn't you?"

*She nodded eagerly.*
"She'll be even prettier then! And our hair will be the same," *she said, holding up the toll next to her face.*

"Well, I'll do my best. Doll hair is harder to do, sweetie, and hers is a little longer than yours."

"You could put a ribbon in it-" *She turned, proudly displaying her hair.* "See? Like mine."

"All right."
Megan put a ribbon in the doll's long, straight hair and gave it back, hoping Pina wouldn't mind.

*She grinned happily.*
"Perfect!"
*She touched the doll's cold china face, suddenly quiet.*
"She's very pretty, isn't she, mama?"

Megan hesitated briefly.
"Yes, you are."

*She looked down at the doll again. Not to see the doll, but to avoid her mother's gaze.*
"But I'm not the same."

"Well, neither am I," Megan pointed out. "See, Mirabelle's eyes are blue and mine are hazel, for one..."

"But mama, look." *She held up the doll next to her, for comparison.* "My face is all funny."
