Stepping out of the elevator, she was instantly drawn to the little girl perched on the sofa. Overhearing their conversation and struck by Theresa's earnest, forlorn look, she couldn't help but chuckle and play along, “Exactly, sitting isn't playing.”

She couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Theresa's cheek.
