Kevin is a good man, a strong man, a generally kind man, an overworked man, and also simply a man. A man sometimes just needs a ten-minute break with some doughnuts.

Eileen, on the other hand, is no man. She's also not quite a little girl anymore, although she hardly ever was a little girl. Zoë understands that, of course, in a way not everyone does.

Which means she'll hopefully understand why the younger girl glances only briefly before returning to being curled up in her chair and staring out the window. "You shouldn't have."
