Chapter 4 - Maisie Reveals Exactly What Happened Behind The Locked Door
Maisie was sitting cross-legged on her pink rug, coloring a new picture of our family with intense concentration.
She looked up as I opened the door, her big brown eyes holding a shadow of fear that broke my heart.
“Mommy, is the angry lady gone?” she asked softly, dropping her purple crayon onto the floor.
I knelt beside her, pulling her small, warm body into a tight, protective hug.
“She’s gone, baby, and she is never coming back here again,” I promised, kissing the top of her head.
“She told me a secret before you came upstairs,” Maisie whispered against my shoulder.
My breath caught in my throat. “What did she tell you, sweetheart?”
“She said Mommy was going to go on a very long trip, and she was going to be my new mommy.”
