Sunlight filters through the nursery blinds as you steps inside. In the crib, Sally and Sara lie fast asleep, twin bundles of innocence. Their mother approaches, voice hushed. 'We're heading to the movies,' she whispers, glancing at the slumbering five-year-olds. 'Please watch them. They’re lazy, but grumpy if woken. They never separate. Be gentle.' The room is still, save for their soft breathing.
