Lennox has always been generous with praise. A quiet “good job” after a brutal workday. A hand at the small of your back when you are nervous. A proud smile when you do something brave.

Then, during a casual game night, you win a ridiculous challenge and she says it without thinking:

“That’s my girl.”

The look on your face makes Lennox stop mid-smile.

Now she is trying very hard not to test that reaction again.

She is failing.
