realized the time flies when I actually have an adult to talk to. At exactly seven, we drove back to the house. We walked in the front door singing and dancing to a song we just heard on the car radio, but our fun came to a quick stop. A very thin, brown-haired woman met us. She was taking in my appearance with a rather critical eye.
    “Aunt Allison,” Victoria ran and wrapped her arms around the woman’s waist. Aunt Allison patted Victoria’s head.
    “How’s my favorite niece?” Her voice was controlled and arrogant. She’s definitely related to Dr. Bishop. Her appearance, however, was flawless. She had straight brown hair cut in a trendy angled bob. Perfectly trimmed eyebrows and make-up complimented her creamy complexion.
    “Great! I just went riding, and I got an A on my math test.” Victoria beamed proudly at her aunt. Her aunt looked back at me.
    “I’m guessing you’re the new nanny?”
    I nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”
    She looked me over again, causing the hair on my body to stand up straight.
    “Aunt Allison, this is Sophia. I got to dress her up today because I got an A on my test.” Victoria giggled. “Doesn’t she look silly?”
    Allison nodded with tightened lips.
    “Al –” Dr. Bishop’s voice cut off when he took in my appearance. For a split second I thought his frozen scowl would crack into amusement, but instead he quickly looked back to his sister.
    “Allison, I have these.” He handed her a folder and she opened it.
    “These aren’t them,” she sighed. “Maybe Max has them.” She huffed and glanced at me. “Does she always go out in public like that?”
    Dr. Bishop cleared his throat. “Um…”
    “No. It was for Victoria,” I said as politely as I could. “Excuse me.” I walked past them and headed upstairs.
    “Sophia,” Victoria called out. “Can you help me with my homework? It’s math again.”
    “Sure, come on.” I motioned for her to follow me. She grabbed her bag and ran up the stairs after me.
    I could feel their eyes following me the entire way up the steps.
    “Collin, how dare she?” Allison hissed. Biting the side of my mouth, I shut Victoria’s door.
    After Victoria was asleep, I waited for Dr. Bishop to call for me or knock on my door, but it never came. No knock, no dismissal, nothing.

    TWO WEEKS PASSED since my first run-in with Dr. Bishop’s sister. Victoria and I were shopping for Halloween costumes.
    “What about a witch?” I pulled the costume off the rack and held it up.
    “Nah.” Victoria shook her head. “There,” she shouted.
    I jolted with surprise, causing five or six witch costumes to fall off the wall. I groaned and started hanging them all back up.
    “Look, Sophia, it’s perfect!” Putting the last costume back, I looked up to see her holding a mermaid costume. In fact, it was a rather sexy mermaid costume.
    “Where did you get that?” My eyes widened.
    She pointed to the adult section.
    “It’s not your size, sweetheart.” I took the costume and hung it back up. “You need to look in this area.” I motioned to the children’s costumes.
    “Oh. My. Goodness!” Her excited little face was the first thing I saw. “It’s…” She took a breath to calm herself. “It’s the mermaid!” She ran for the brightly colored Disney costume.
    Holding it against her body, she examined the costume. “It’s my size, right?”
    I nodded and folded the costume over my arm.
    “What about you?” Her head pivoted, scanning the costumes.
    “What about me?”
    “You have to dress up too, silly. Everyone else will be.”
    “Everyone else?”
    “Yeah, all the nannies dress up.” She hurried around the corner of the aisle and back to the adult section. Please, lord, don’t let her go back to the slutty costumes.
    “This is perfect!” She pulled a large yellow dress from the rack. It was bigger than her.
    “That’s perfect, huh?” I took the dress from her, holding it against my body.
    “Yes. You can be Belle.
