"No, noooo,"  Megan whispered to Kayla as she spoke.  "Babe, you didn't offend me; I promise.  And you shouldn't feel bad about crying.  Believe me, I cry all the time,"  she said with a soft laugh as an attempt to comfort Kayla.  It was true, though, Megan often overreacted or was really emotional and sensitive at times.  "It'll be okay, I promise.  Please don't leave.  We want you to stay.  We like you.  We really do."  Megan sighed softly and continued to stroke the girl's back as she peeked up at Ari, hoping she would back her up and reassure the girl everything was going to be okay.
