“I’m so glad we could get you in for a proper haircut,” I said as I brushed Abby’s hair. She sat there for me, playing with her sister’s little mouse since we hadn’t been able to pick hers up from Alex’s.

Her hair was a bit shorter than when she came to me, just short curls around her chubby little face. Maybe I was biased, but I thought she was cute as hell - a little cherub. She had been in a good mood all morning, no fighting when it came time to brush her hair.

“Sing!” she called out to me, throwing her hands in the air.

I was grateful for YouTube, because I was able to look up some kid-friendly songs to sing with her, something Abby seemed to enjoy.

“Hmm, what should I sing?’ I asked her.

“Ears!” she yelled, a large smile on her face, dimples in each of her cheeks.

“Do your ears hang low?”

“Yes!” And she made the motion, putting her little hands next to her ears.

Emma was sitting nearby in her bouncy chair, so I made sure she could see the show. I started singing and wiggling my hands around my ears as Abby did her best to sing along with me. Emma was giggling, as was Abby, and I had to admit, it was one of the most beautiful sounds I had ever heard.

As I finished the song, I checked the time.

It was two minutes past eight. My heart dropped as I realized that Ms. Peters would be there at any moment. If things went well - and I had a feeling it would, because who couldn’t love these two - I might not have many more days with my nieces. There was a pit in my belly when I thought about it, but I pushed it aside.

I was doing this for them.

I didn’t have much time to be sad, because a moment later, the doorbell rang.

“Oh, looks like we have visitors,” I announced, helping Abby down from the sofa. “Want to go meet them with me?”

Abby nodded and waddled toward the door as I pulled Emma out of her bouncy chair. Abigail was waiting impatiently at the door, swishing around the skirt of her pink dress and bouncing up and down.

How would anyone not love her and want to take her home, I thought. It was going to be impossible. If this family passed all their checks, I had no doubt in my mind they’d be taking my nieces home.

I opened the door and found Ms. Peters with a couple who appeared to be in their late thirties or early forties. The woman had red hair like my nieces’, and I couldn’t help but think that was a sign. Her blue eyes lit up when she saw Emma, and she grabbed her husband’s hand.

Her husband smiled politely, and he had nice eyes. He was clean shaven with a fancy haircut and khakis. I didn’t know much about them, but I fancied that he was successful in whatever field he worked in.
