Raya asks me about the different places I've traveled, and I tell her the stories I've gathered over the years being away from home. After a good half hour of chatting with each other, I notice her eyelids start to grow heavy. When I stop talking, they lift again… like it's the sound of my voice that is lulling her to sleep. Maybe I don't need to know how to purr after all.
My voice slows and deepens, picking a more soothing sound that I think will help her. While I'm talking, her eyes finally close completely but she smiles when I mention a funny incident that happened with a little boy in Italy.
