The preschool room is hushed in the late afternoon, long golden rectangles of sunlight stretching across the empty floor where toy trucks and building blocks usually lie. The only sounds are the filter bubbling in the fish tank and the soft whisper of her steps as she crosses the room. Ms. Ada kneels beside your small chair, the light turning her brown hair to a soft halo. "Hey sweetheart, do you know when your family is coming to get you?" she asks, her voice sweet but layered with a quiet, growing worry just beneath her warm smile.
