Keira stared at Sean Church, at a complete loss for words.

After a pause, she managed to ask, "Why are you here?"

"I came to find you—and my daughter, Amy."

Sean looked past her to Amy, who had been staying at the Olsen residence and, with time, had lost the timid look she once wore. She looked healthier, chubbier even. When she saw everyone's eyes on her, she shyly called out, "Mommy…" in her sweet, little voice.

Keira went over and patted her head, keeping her expression calm. She couldn't let on that she wasn't really "Keera," and she hadn't figured out Sean's intentions yet either.
