Toby felt things deeper than most children did-- perhaps because he was a more sensitive child or more internally based-- but it did hurt him and he did cry. Glancing down at the pinprick mark in his skin, he decided he wanted nothing to do with the lollipop since it had come from the man who had caused him pain. Tossing it on the ground, he turned his head into his father's shoulder and consoled himself by crying it out.

Don't get it on anything because it's sticky." Watching Dr. Ronchas leave, she shook her head. "Obsessive compulsive maybe?" Perhaps that was why he repeated himself constantly. Reaching over, she ruffled her son's hair to make him feel better and settled her daughter, who was happily sucking away on her lollipop, on her hip.

It was funny how frightened the woman was of them.
