“He’s a beautiful child,” Nancy said to her colleague when she thought he wasn’t listening.

“I know. With those gorgeous eyes, that thick hair, and so well-behaved, obviously intelligent.” The colleague clicked her tongue. “So tragic.”

“I’m hoping once the aunt sees him, she’ll change her mind about keeping him. It would be a shame for him to go into the system.” Nancy shot a sidelong glance at her colleague. “It always worries me when an exceptionally beautiful child goes into foster care. Sometimes they seem to bring out the worst in people.”

The other woman tightened her lips. “Nancy, you shouldn’t be talking like that. I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

When Nancy spoke again, she sounded tired. “I know I shouldn’t say anything, but after what happened to little Sierra Mayes, I…”

“You can’t keep beating yourself up about her. That couple had an impeccable record as foster parents. No one could have predicted what happened.”

Nancy rested her head on the back of her chair. “I know. I just wish…” Then she shook her head. “I can’t help worrying about what might be. About what the future might hold for that little guy.”

She glanced at the boy in the waiting room. He was trying to play with a toy dollhouse. There was a cheap plastic doll family inside. The boy’s hand crept forward. He picked up the mother doll and stared into her painted face, his eyes round, turning her slowly back and forth, running his fingers through her hair.

One little hand rubbed his eyes, but he didn’t cry.
