Her words hit him harder than he expected.
But then something unexpected happened. One night, as Daniel passed by the nursery, he heard Amara whisper to the twins:
Don’t worry, little ones. You’re stronger than anyone thinks. You have secrets that even your father doesn’t understand.”
Daniel froze outside the door. Secrets? What does she mean?
The next day, he noticed she was avoiding questions about her past. Every time he asked her where she learned those lullabies or how she knew so much about traumatized children, she changed the subject.
He began to wonder: Who exactly is Amara? And why do I feel like she knows more about my family than I do?
