After a few moments, she plopped onto the floor in disappointment.

Keira walked over and scooped her up.

Howard and his mother had mistreated her horribly, leaving her timid and withdrawn.

Only recently, after living in a loving home with Keira and Lewis, had she started to blossom. Even so, she often struggled to express herself.
