The same Mrs. Rodriguez who'd ignited her love of reading. A wave of… something akin to happiness washed over her. She knew Sofia would be safe and sound.

She picked up the phone, her voice warm. “Hello, yes, this is Sofia’s mother.” The feeling lingered.

She had to get the shopping list from the kitchen, but she'd leave it until later.
