When Father Brennan leaned over to see her eyes, Mable happily looked up at him and made her eyes as wide as she could while smiling. She was always so proud of her eyes, and the fact she shared them with her brother.
His words made her pout though. Of course cows were black and white, and the moon and sky and piano keys, though Mable was only familiar with two of those things. And Father Brennan himself, but that wasn't what she meant.
"Well, those things are alright, but storm clouds can be black, and lighting flashes white and then terribly loud thunder always follows it. Those are scary."
The girl's tone was just slightly lower than it was before, as if saying it too loud would summon the clouds and heavy rain. Mable's free hand moved to touch where Father Brennan's rested on her shoulder.
