Susie had a toy panda that she clearly loved—she carried it everywhere and seemingly couldn’t be happy without it. She would smell it, rub her cheeks against it, and enjoy the sensation of feeling its fur with her fingers.

She also had a little tea set that Lorna had given her, and she would occasionally stage imaginary tea parties, but she never invited other children. She always sipped her imaginary tea alone.
