Chapter 4 - Mabel Leaves The Suburban House With Little Clara

With the heavy leather folder clutched securely against her chest, Mabel walked softly down the carpeted hallway toward her daughter's bedroom. Five-year-old Clara was fast asleep, hugging her favorite stuffed rabbit beneath a pink quilted blanket.
Mabel gently lifted her sleeping daughter into her arms, whispering soft reassurances against her soft hair as they slipped out into the cool night. She loaded their bags into the trunk of her reliable sedan, leaving the house behind without a single backward glance.
