Dani looked up from her homework for a moment, glaring dully at the old granny doing Story Hour at the library, complete with musical accompaniment.
"I hate that song."
Jazz rubbed her eyes, tired from yet another headache-inducing tutoring session. Dani learned quickly, but she avoided history books entirely unless supervised. Besides, she had problems with social interaction.
Jazz remembered the lullaby. "What's wrong?"
Dani turned back to her paper, seething. "Who thinks it's funny to tell little kids a story about a baby about to die?"
Jazz's lips thinned. She murmured, "Bad memories, little sister?"
Dani kicked her chair.
