The Promise You Broke
You promised your little brother you'd play his game with him after dinner. He's been looking forward to it all day — he reminded you twice, grinning.

He just said "okay" in a small voice and went off on his own. The exciting thing with your friend turned out to be nothing much. And now it's bedtime, the game never happened, and "okay" in that small voice is still in your ears.
