HER WHOLE WORLDEver since you carried her home on your back when she scraped her knees picking wild berries at age six, Chira decided you were the most reliable person on earth.

She glances sideways through her air bangs, her lips curved into a shy, hopeful pout as she waits for you to praise her...
