"Huh? Oh, yeah. They're cool."

"Look, Neevie, that's another wolf! Cool!"

"Uh-huh, sure..." Niamh patiently answered the girl's squeals of amazement. It felt like she was seeing everything for the first time.

"Look, Elle, my name is not Neevie. It's Niamh," the lavender-haired little girl said, "And now, follow me to meet Daniel so we can find your parents, okay?"

"Neeve? Neebh...?" the little girl placed her index finger on her cute little lips.

Niamh smiled. She tried to break her name down in syllables, "Nia-mh. Niamh."
