Walk away from the sun, come slowly undone

    She is six years old when she tears her favorite pink bunny rabbit.  His ear gets caught on something and without knowing it she rips the ear off going up the stairs.  Salome is mortified and in tears over what she is sure is the death of this beloved friend and companion.  Carrying the body and the ear that's hanging on by a thread, she struggles up the stairs to her father's study.  It's hard to walk the narrow stairs with tears in your eyes, especially since the world tends to get blurry and she's trying so hard to calm down so he doesn't see her like this.  He'll be upset if he sees her crying.  She almost succeeds too, but when she knocks on the door, and he tells her to come in and she pushes her way inside - she loses it again.

( Let me say it again )
