"Amy." Carly ran after me, her sweet voice calling for me, and I skidded to a stop.

"Yeah sweet pea?" I panted. The need to protect her warred with my need to take care of her.

She pointed to a box on the fridge. "Daddy told me to show you the box." She bounced on her toes. "He said it was important, but I forgot about it till now." She looked worried.

"It's okay, baby girl. You did great." I ran back to the box and pulled it down. Another note was taped to it. I wanted to laugh, cause the man thought of everything. I brought it to the table and Toya stood from the couch when I slammed the box down.

off. "There." She smiled as she tossed it into the box. One by one, my friends tossed a chunk of their own hair into the box. I finished the tiny braid at Carly's nape and cut it off, then I quickly redid her hair. "Look at how pretty you are. You can't even tell." Toya smiled as she pinched Carly's cheek, earning a giggle.
