The group stood, gazing at the tree in silence for a few minutes. Kennedy turned to look at Juliette, who was carefully examining the ornaments adorning the branches. Kennedy shifted beside Eva as she watched the girl. Had Logan given her Christmas? Kennedy doubted it. She wondered how long it had been since Juliette had last had a decent holiday.
Kennedy continued to watch Juliette from the corner of her eye, on one occasion opening her mouth to speak, and then closing it again as she failed to find words to say. She felt Eva squeeze her shoulder reassuringly. Kennedy remained silent for another moment or two, and then looked over to Juliette and spoke.
"Is there anything you want us to know about you?" she asked. "Or anything you'd like to know about any of us? We want you to feel safe here, so you don't have to feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time."
