"I don't know any of the kids here. They play together so well. I feel... like none of them actually like me."
"What good is thinking like that? You need to take initiative! Don't you remember? You're an adorable, lively, lovable little treasure.
A new environment makes you feel shy, but the other little kids facing you will feel shy too.

Darnley thought for a moment and nodded. "I really wish Miya could come too. If she were here, I'd have someone to play with, and Miya wouldn't feel lonely either."

She said nothing, started the car, and drove away.
At the traffic light, the car came to a stop. When Faye glanced back unintentionally, she spotted an Audi trailing her car again.
