What are you hiding?

Emma has no family. That’s why she’s being adopted.

Nothing

She is a beautiful child, a perfect child. How could anybody not want her?

What have you done?

Because there’s nothing wrong with her, surely. Or at least that’s what you keep telling yourself.

It's just easier if I don't tell you… And you'll do what I say or else you'll get hurt.

And she’s only a child. Only a seven-year-old child. So, she’s not going to do anything seriously bad. Of course she isn’t.
