“I, um, think we should,” Julie said. She wasn’t the professional. Or the boss. “I mean, you know best,” she told Sara. “And I don’t want you to take risks based on my opinion.”

“It was right after I was talking about secrets that she drew the picture,” she said. “I feel we should tell her the truth. She’s only seven. It’s not like she’s going to understand the biological significance. But I just think... Well, she’s lost her mom, her aunt and her father...”

She paused, looked around the table. “I’m not insinuating that having her father around was a good thing, but it must’ve been good some of the time or Cara wouldn’t have stayed, right? Not when she had a father to run home to.”

“She was pretty angry with me,” Edward said. “After her mother died... I wasn’t home as much as I should’ve been.”

Julie didn’t really need to know about that. “Whether Joy was afraid of her dad or loved him, his disappearance must still give her a sense of abandonment—especially with her mom and aunt gone.” She focused on Sara.
