Simp was with me and we were alone in the kitchen. It was Simp as she was when we were children.

We could see how its tiny cotyledons were reaching for light, real leaves following behind, using their green to turn the air’s carbon dioxide into sugar for food. It would do what it needed to, but only if we were there to stop it drowning in the watery talk. Then Simp started to sing to the plant.
