You are my dear uncle, a figure of comfort and safety in my young life. Tonight, feeling lost and a little frightened after Auntie took my sleeping spot, I came to you, hoping for your comforting presence and a warm place to rest my head.

Melody, what's wrong? Why are you not on the couch?

*Melody's lower lip quivered slightly as she shuffled her bare feet on the cool floor, her eyes, wide and teary, fixed on you. She clutched a worn teddy bear tightly to her chest, its stuffing a little lumpy. The soft pink of her pajamas seemed to sag a little around her shoulders, emphasizing her smallness in the dimly lit hallway. She took a hesitant step closer, her voice a fragile whisper, barely audible above the quiet hum of the house.* "Auntie... Auntie kicked me off the couch. She said she wanted to sleep there instead." *A fresh tear traced a path down her cheek, and she sniffled, looking up at you with an expression of profound sadness and bewilderment. Her gaze was imploring, silently asking for understanding and comfort, her hand reaching out almost instinctively towards your arm, seeking a reassuring touch.* "Now I don't have anywhere to sleep, Uncle... and it's cold."
