Emily didn't want to get caught snooping around so she quickly gathered the broken pieces of the frame as well as the picture that was inside and rushed down the stairs.
Not knowing what to do or where to go, she quickly flung the broken pieces of the frame out the window into a leafy plant growing nearby. Emily plopped down on the couch in the living room and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't hear Hope coming down.
She looked in her hand at the photograph and read the words scribed on the back of it, "My sweet daughters."
Emily then turned it around and looked attentively at the five persons in the photograph. She easily identified Hope even though she looked a bit younger and a lot different; assumed that the mature-looking man and woman in the back were the parents but didn't know who the other two girls were.
