Melody and Jocelyn had finished sorting the gifts and were watching TV in the living room. Hearing the commotion, the little girl leaned over the sofa to investigate.

Seeing him standing alone in the hallway like a lost puppy, Melody trotted over, tilting her head up with a tentative invitation. "Do you want to watch cartoons with me?"

Jocelyn had kept the volume incredibly low to avoid disturbing the adults, so he couldn't tell what was playing. Leaning sideways to peek at the screen, he accepted instantly. "I'd love to."

"But I've never seen this one before. I might not understand it."

"That's okay! I'll explain it to you."

As they walked, she launched into a full recap.

Melody was a fantastic storyteller when it came to her favorite shows. By the time they sat down, she had outlined the main characters and overarching plot, and was breaking down the current episode. But with impressive restraint, she kept the ending a secret so he could enjoy the suspense.

He sat beside her, playing along flawlessly. After a minute or two, he tossed out clever questions and guessed where the story was headed.

Surprised by how fast he caught on, Melody was ecstatic to finally have someone to discuss fan theories with.

Julian used to watch cartoons with her all the time. He used to ask her questions and guess the endings too.
