Finally she had finished her nightly rituals and climbed in bed sighing.  I listened steadily to her and her heart rate dropped indicating she was asleep quickly.  I went to her room and walked to her in wonder. In sleep she looked so much more at peace than she did when awake. The worries of the day no longer causing her jaw to clench. As I looked though the tension was diminished but not gone.
 
My angel’s brow was not smooth but slightly furrowed. I tried to resist, but I found my fingers reaching out, seemingly of their own accord, to caress her brow hoping to smooth out the tension. I breathed out a breath I hadn’t been aware of holding. As I touched her the connection I felt to this diminutive human girl was again complete.  Now my brow furrowed in confusion as to why this human girl affected me so.  Slowly the tension seemed to ease from her as I continued to softly caress her.
