why Emma was quiet

She was so quiet for a few minutes. I thought that maybe she was in her room, and was keeping an ear out for anything that sounded suspicious. But it was quiet. Too quiet. So I went looking ....

... and found her in our room, surrounded by books pulled from the shelf.

John has been "reading" (she will only pay attention for a line or two and then moves on) to her a bit at night, all from books on this shelf. Apparently she remembered and wanted another story
