Aurora had already set some ground rules with the nanny: absolutely no taking Elijah to deserted areas, period.

She was so swamped with stuff at the art studio most days, she couldn't really spend as much time with her son as she'd like. So, she figured the best thing she could do was try to head off any potentially dangerous situations before they even started.
