Keira glanced down at the DNA results, her face showing a flicker of surprise. She looked back at Sean Church, the confusion in her eyes growing.
Sean still had that sad, almost helpless look, and it suddenly put her on high alert. Glancing around the room, she signaled to Erin.
"Take Amy with you," she said calmly.
Erin looked indignant. She hadn't even managed to enjoy the drama before getting asked to leave again. Just as she was about to protest, Keira added, "I trust only you to keep her safe."
Erin's face lit up with a grin. "Oh, that's different," she replied, happily picking up Amy. "Come on, Amy, come and have some fun with Auntie Erin."
As they headed upstairs, Erin coaxed, "I have candy for you!"
Amy shook her head sweetly. "Amy doesn't eat candy. Candy makes your teeth fall out."
"Oh, you're still young! Even if your teeth fall out, you'll get new ones. What's life worth if you don't enjoy it a little?" Erin said, her voice fading as she disappeared down the hall.
