Orion rattled off a list of games, and the boy shook his head the whole time. He had completely forgotten to cry, his big eyes wide with curiosity. "What are those games you're talking about? I've never heard of them."

"Come to preschool with me, and you'll see. There are lots of other kids there, and we can play all of them together." Orion kept him guessing, adding a little suspense.
