"I get it," Linsey finally said, eyes fixed on the floor, her voice flat as a pancake. "You can keep working for Gorman." Caylee's head snapped up, eyes wide as saucers, brows knitted in shock.

If she brought her children to live under Gorman's roof, the thought of we might happen to them down the line made her blood run cold.
While Linsey wrestled with that bone-deep fear, the two kids in the corner were wrapped up in their own heated, whispered showdown.
Zenia had just mumbled her hesitant story when Zander shot back, his voice tight as a soiled spring "I'm nothing like that bastard! He's the one picking on Mommy! I'd only ever protect her. I'm not like him, not one bit!"
Zenia chewed on that for a second, her little face scrunched in thought, before she ventured o Ne cautiously, I "Zander, I don't know... when I saw that bad man, I couldn't shake it. He kinda looks like you." "No way!" Zander hissed, his face scrunching up like he had bitten into a sour lemon. "I'm Mommy's kid, so I only look like her!" Zenia, all serious, retorted, "Everyone says I'm the one who looks like Mommy. She was my spitting image when she was little." Zander huffed, practically vibrating with annoyance, but as the big brother, he reined it in, not about to blow his top at his little sister.
