I take

But I break
Like a little girl
Wally can always tell when she's sad. It's not the way her shoulders hunch over defensively, or the way her eyes shine too bright when they lock with his.
It's not the way her skin seems to grow even paler and her hair darker, edging towards a deep pink that's almost red.
It's the music.
All hours of the day she plays music, even as they sleep.
And when she plays Nina Simone, she's sad.
Why Nina, always Nina, he doesn't know. But he asks...
Jinx answers with a sad little smile, "They're my mother's records."
He understands her sadness.
Review, please.
