“Reed.â€? A half croaked winy voice called from the kitchen.

Reed looked up slowly from where she was pulling at the chair with a frustrated glare and met the eyes of a small girl barely noticeable over the towering ferns and large coffee tables that adorned the apartment.

“Yeah Surry?â€? Reed managed a welcoming smile.

The little girl came in the living room at the sound of her voice smiling. Her big gray eyes shined as the warm sun hit her delicate features. A grin erupted from a small freckled face. “When’s Breakfast.â€? Surry managed her innocent smile making Reed loather her even more.

“Soon.â€?

“When!â€? Surry called her smile fading into the recesses of her face and replaced with a frown quickly. Not so innocent now.
