Billy: I don’t want to go to Mommy!
The little boy clung to the maid's apron, his whole body shaking with intense fear.
Elena: It’s okay, sweetie, you’re safe with me.
Victoria: Get your hands off my son!
A sharp crack echoed through the hallway as Victoria struck Elena across the face.
Elena: Please, Mrs. Vance, he was just scared!

Elena: No! Stop!
Elena lost her footing, falling backward over the edge into the open space below.
Mark: I’ve got you! Are you hurt?
Mark slid across the hardwood floor, catching Elena in his arms just in time.
