All of the books were children's books.

And they were behaving like them, too.

Lana sighed, facepalmed, and resigned herself to wrangling them today.

"All right, everybody!" she said in a stern voice. "Story time. Who wants to be read first?"

It was a day.

Nell took Lana's hand and clambered up. "I'll be real careful with the book."

It almost purred a bit when Nell held it and that made her giggle. "I think it likes me."

"I think you're right," Lana said. She waited until Nell was settled. "Right. Once upon a time..."

Nell snuggled in to listen to the story attentively. But after a while her eyes began to droop. It had been a long day for the little girl.

Lana...just kept reading. There were other books listening now, waiting their turns. She caught the cover of this one when Nell's hands lost their grip, and it helpfully turned its own pages for her.

It didn't take long for a very tired little girl to fall soundly asleep, totally trusting in Lana.
