It can't be this immediate.

It can't actually really be her.

And this time even louder.

There's three taps that come back from somewhere downstairs.

Clearly something, someone is in the house and they're interacting with the girls and their dad's not home.

But amazingly, the girls remember their mind state is, it's mom.

This is a good thing.

We're excited about this.

To most children, this would be horrifying, but for them in this part of their lives, this was confirmation that their mom is here.

And it gave them an enormous amount of courage and happiness, frankly.

And they're like, let's go down.

Let's go downstairs and see what's going on.

Let's see if we can, maybe mom's down there.

Who knows, right?

Let's go down there.

And so down the steps the girls go.

And as they're going, they're asking more questions.

And they're starting to sense that the tapping, which is louder now, they can kind of tell that it's not somewhere on the first floor.
