A chill traveled up my spine as I watched him disappear behind the house, something seemed off about him, but I wasn’t sure what. I turned on my heel and decided to go back inside and track down my young daughter to see how she was faring. I entered the house and focused on tracking down her sweet scent, I picked up on it and followed it into a room that was designed for young pups. It must be a daycare or something for them. I noticed Karen sitting on the floor with Ersa and another child who must have been around five years old. She was reading them a story from a picture book, Ersa sat there quietly and listened tentatively as Karen read the story to them. The little boy beside her was sucking on his thumb while listening. I entered the room and stood at the doorway and watched them.
