Ash

So she pulled April onto her lap and she's trying to soothe her.

She's like, nobody touched you while you were asleep.

Like none of the girls went into your room.

It was probably just a bad dream.

That technique was usually successful, but on that afternoon, April could not be soothed.

She was very upset.

She insisted that one of her sisters had slapped her and pushed her while she was sleeping and then ran out of the room.

And she said she could even hear their footsteps as they fled into the hallway.

That's terrifying.

Yeah.

So seeing that April was genuinely upset and like inconsolable at this point with what she'd experienced, the rest of the girls got more serious and they joined in trying to help calm her down.

Oh,

They all told her, none of us went into your room.

Like, you probably were dreaming.

But after a while, even Carolyn wasn't so sure that April was dreaming.

Her mind flashed back to the feeling that she had earlier that day, putting April down for her nap, that she wasn't alone in the room.

And she was sure that if there was somebody else in the house, she would have noticed them by now.

After all, the house was not that big.

And it also seemed like every floorboard had its own noise.

But she still couldn't help but wonder, was there something wrong?
