Hardy recounted Matilda's story again, this time much more detailed than the night at Meyer's Park.
Taylor laid on Hardy's arms, listening intently.
She realized that everything she had seen these past two days could be translated into the film characters. Mr. Hardy had taken her out with genuine care.
The girl looked up at the man.
Her gaze lingered.
It wasn't until the evening that Hardy took Taylor home. Taylor waved goodbye and walked into the villa. Sarah noticed that Taylor seemed a bit low spirited. Yesterday, her daughter had come back full of energy and mischief. What happened today?
Sarah was a bit worried.
"What's wrong, Elizabeth?" Sarah asked.
"Mr. Hardy took me to the slums today. I saw many poor children there, some fighting over a piece of bread. It turns out Matilda from the movie really went hungry." Taylor said.
Hearing her daughter's words, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief.
