[No hugs right this second, but that's because Evangeline is holding a dress in Mary's size. A patchwork pink princess dress with a poofy skirt.]

I got back this dress that my dad made for me when I was your age. I love it dearly - I always wanted to be a princess growing up, and I can only imagine how hard Dad worked to get all the materials - but it doesn't fit me now.

Would you like it?

[Mary grew quiet- the hyperactive excitement fading to make way for wide-eyed awe. Slowly, very carefully, she reached out for it, as if she were collecting something delicate- but she hesitates, right at the last moment, hands sort of awkwardly hovering just a couple of inches away.]

...can I really have it?

[Something important. A gift from Evangeline received from her father.]

[No upturned nose, no pity. Evangeline wasn't expecting that from Mary, but it still is a relief.]

I want you to have it. It made me so happy, and now I want it to make you happy, too.
