Sawyer whipped her head around to look at her, eyes wide with shock. "How could you... ask that?"
Renee Jennings explained, "Today in the meeting room, I saw you..."
Sawyer's eyes reddened again, but she managed a smile. "No wonder they say girls are more perceptive. It's really true."
Renee Jennings gently took her arm. "So I guessed right?"
"It didn't exactly happen to me," Sawyer said. "It was my little sister. I was playing with her in our village when a strange woman suddenly showed up and gave us candy."
"She kept complimenting my sister, saying how cute she was, and then asked if she could hold her. We thought she was a nice person..."
Sawyer's voice choked up. She raised a hand to her mouth, her voice dropping to a whisper. "It was all my fault. I was so stupid. I never imagined she'd pick my sister up, turn around, and just run."
Back then, she'd cried while chasing after them, but the woman was very fast, and there was even a motorcycle to pick her up.
