Summary
He ran to see his parents carrying a soft bundle of blankets.
“It’s a gift for me, mummy?” Henry said, imagining a race car.
Mum looked down at him and laughed softly, a laugh he was rarely permitted to hear.
She knelt down with the bundle, “Say hello to your brother, love.”
Brother?
Henry peered over the bundle to see a pink scrunched up face.
“It’s ugly.”
Dad laughed this time.
And henry smiled. Maybe it wasn’t so ugly if it was the reason why mum and dad smiled at him again.

Summary
Ralph clutched the present harder, “I know man, but it’s your birthday today. And everyone is down to celebrate. They’re just waiting for you, kid.” He gave him a grin, “Eighteen man. Legal to vote, legal to get a tattoo, though if you do, don’t get a lame one, ask me first. Legal to rent a house. Eighteen, Peter. You can-“
“I don’t want to be older than him.”
Ralph felt like choking on his words.
“I can’t be older than him. He’s my older brother.”
Or
two boys learn to overcome their grief together.
A story told in the present and the past

Summary
“Did you come for any important reason?” Washington asked, trying to convey urgency into his tone and hoping that it would give away his meaning well enough. It didn’t seem to work, as Lafayette only looked confused, tilting his head to the side slightly like an uncertain puppy. He opened his mouth and then closed it again, before taking a deep breath through his nose as though he were steeling his nerves for a task that scared him greatly. Perhaps he was. Then-
“Je suis vraiment désolé de vous déranger si vous êtes occupé, monsieur le Général ! Mais je voulais parler un peu, et avec cette tempête il n’y a rien à faire… alors, si cela ne vous importune pas, je souhaiterais passer un moment en votre compagnie? Je partirai bien sûr si je vous gêne!”Lafayette just wants to spend some time with Washington, except neither of them understand each other. (There are translations for the French in the author's notes at the end, don't worry. Although if you read it without the translations first, maybe you'll get poor Washington's confusion, so that could work too.)
