“How’d you end up on the floor?”

“I was listening to you sing. The door opened. I fell in.” Maggie paused at the base of the stairs to cross her arms and pout. “How come you never sing to me?”

Caroline’s eyebrows lifted. “Do you want me to sing to you?”

Maggie shrugged. “I don’t know. I just like hearing you is all.”

“Well, that’s very sweet, Maggie. I’d be happy to sing for you anytime you like.”

“Can we? We still have a few minutes before Pa has to tuck me in.”

“Pa” had been locked away in his study since shortly after dinner. Honestly, in the three days that Caroline had been living with the McKays, she’d hardly seen the man. That meant Maggie hadn’t, either. The more time Caroline spent with the girl, the more she noticed how much Maggie wanted to spend time with her father...and how often those requests were denied.
