Come.

I was worried sick.

Where were you?

I was trying to get better.

You couldn't have...

What you doing

Just playing

And who were

Just my dolls.

Okay.

Well, you know that Momma doesn't

like people playing up here, right?

So how about we

go back downstairs?

Okay, Mommy.

Hey, look at me, Luce.

I have something to show you,

Look, Mommy.

Nighty-night,

sleep you tight.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

You won't tell Daddy,

will you?

About Oliver.

Why do you say that, love?

I think Oliver's hiding.

Who's he hiding from?

He doesn't want to tell me.
