Merriam couldn't sleep. She got up from bed and decided to make herself a cup of tea. She turned on the hall light and was beginning to make her way downstairs when she heard a noise, similar to sobbing.
"Connor, is that you?" Merriam called wondering if her nephew might be home sick or maybe had a bad dream. What she didn't expect to find was a blond haired doll with his small head in his arms. She knelt down to pick it up. The doll was motionless in her hands as she picked it up and examined it carefully. It was very detailed in it's design looking almost like a real person, Merriam looked closely at the dolls clothing admiring the stitching and the fabric used. She vaguely recalled Connor's Father talking to her about buying Connor a doll while in France, she supposed it must have been this.
"Bonjour, Little doll! Would you care to join me for a cup of tea?" Merriam laughed softly and took the doll downstairs, placing it on the kitchen counter. Merriam opened up a cabnet and rummaged around in it for a little, eventually pulling out a little box.
"Hope you like chamomile." Merriam turned around to face the doll and noticed it had move considerably since she last saw it.
"Must be more tired than I thought." She mumbled fixing her tea quietly. She kept glancing back at the doll while she drank. It's bright blue eyes seemed to follow her and it's expression seemed anxious. Suddenly a crazy idea, most likely spawned from all the TV she and Connor had watched that evening, popped in her head.
"Y'know I could care less if you wanna leave the kitchen dude, just ask and I'll take you back to his room." She said not looking at the doll. She waited, sipping her tea quietly. She heard a small sigh.
"Please, madame... It would mean the world to me..." Merriam turned around and saw the doll standing on the counter looking like it would rather be in hidden in a corner than talking to her.
"Why of course um...?" She looked at the doll for an answer.
"Scott."
