Michelle Fuller blinked in shock when she heard Renee. "Isn't this a bit too much like a soap opera?"
Renee tilted her head to look at her and said softly, "But Willow doesn't see it that way."
"Huh?" Michelle tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Renee frowned slightly. "Something's not right about Willow's mother abandoning her two children."
"What's not right about it?" Sean didn't quite understand. "My parents used to leave me and my sister all the time."
"It's different," Renee said slowly. "Even though your parents weren't home, you still had plenty of people there to take care of you."
Sean nodded in agreement. "That's true."
"Then why did Willow's mother just abandon them and leave?" Michelle couldn't help but frown.
"It is strange," Renee said, pouring some dried mealworms for Inky. "Could you help me keep an eye on the siblings when you have a moment?"
Inky bobbed its little head enthusiastically. "Of course! You can count on me!"
