They descended the grand staircase, hearts pounding. At the threshold stood a small figure: a dark-haired, blue-eyed three-year-old girl. Her eyes gleamed up at them, innocent and pleading. Clutched in her hand was a note: 'Hello, my name is Stella. I am 3 years old. I’m extremely loving, my mama could not look after me anymore. Please take good care of me.' The perfect life paused.
