“Does that hurt?” She points at my forehead. “A little.” I have a headache now, thanks to my clumsiness. “Do you want me to kiss it and make it better? That’s what my mommy does for me. It helps a lot.” “That’s okay, but thank you.” “Are you sure?” She puckers her lips. “Just one little kiss?” Holding her thumb and forefinger close in front of her, she waits for my reply. “Fine, all right.” Lili places a tiny kiss beside the ointment on my forehead. “It’ll get better faster now. I promise.” My heart squeezes in my chest at her sincerity. “Thank you.” She beams. “You’re welcome.”
