Sisters

Psst.
What?
Are you awake?
Yeah.
What do you hope you get?
Here, come in my bed.
Brrr, it's cold.
Yeah.
What time is it?
Sigh. Early. 
Like five?
Yeah.

The shiny, new light fell on the sisters curled up together. It was 
Freshly minted, glinting on the snow outside. 
Christmas light.

Ready?
Yup.
Okay. And... action!
Mom, do I really have to visit my cousin from Europe?
Cut! Okay, that was great. Let's do the next scene.
Which one is this again?
You're filming.
Got it. 

Movie making. Something special they liked to do together. Filming, directing, acting. 
It was in their blood. 

Hey.
Sniffle.
She's going to be okay, you know.
Sob.
I promise. It's going to be okay.
Nod.

The dog was hurt. Not badly hurt, but hurt. But she was right. It was going to be okay.
On the faded brown couch, the sisters hugged.
