Barbie knocked on the open door, then stepped inside. “Hey, Chelse. You okay?”
Chelsea was lying sideways on her bed, pigtails hanging over the edge, and she leaned back to look at her sister. “No.”
“You wanna talk about it?”
She shrugged. “I just… don’t feel happy. I’m not sad, I just… am.”
“Ah,” said Barbie. “There’s a word for that.”
“There is?”
“Yep. Melancholy. A pensive sadness with no cause.”
“What’s pensive mean?” asked Chelsea.
“Thoughtful,” he sister replied.
“How do you fix it?”
“Good question. What do you think?”
“Maybe… we just sit quietly together?”
Barbie smiled. “Absolutely.”
