Chapter 23 Reverie

• The pain I felt was suddenly overwhelming as I missed them.
• Aviari came back to me in flashes of him taunting me mercilessly.  A cocky smile and a jokingly rotten nature that often drove him to hold toys above my head. Or hide my favorite doll.
• But then there was Baila Lae. And I saw her face in a sudden flash. Haloed by light from the window behind her as she laughingly swatted at her brother and told him to be nice to their baby sister.
