It had been a few weeks since Janet came to see Hannah. She felt a little guilty about not being able to see her often. Ever since Janet started working, she had been dealing with unfortunate incidents that seemed to take all her time.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not a child.” Janet couldn’t help but smile at her.
