The child's agreement will do well to pull her away from her thoughts, however; again, she's grinning, albeit unintentionally, as she offers her hands to Abigail. It makes the girl grip onto William's sleeves with a gasp!! ]
Oh-- no, Abigail, it's okay!! [ Grell's expression slacks with fret, her upturned brows pressed together and hands tensing, terrified that the girl might start crying again! But, to her surprise, Abigail manages to overcome her fears and raise her arms to be taken.
With something of a sob of joy, the redhead wastes no time in scooping her up! ]
