Emma rolled over and found herself face to face with a little girl eyeing her curiously.

"Hi?..." Emma said, still bleary with sleep.

The girl was half hidden behind a cute toy monkey in her arms, but her gaze on Emma was insistent.

"Are you Emma?" She asked, her voice full of wonder.

Emma nodded wordlessly and the little girl grinned.

"They said I'm staying with you, they said you're gonna be like my big sister!" She said excitedly.

"What's your name?" Emma asked.

"I'm Skye, and this is Tamlin," Skye said, gesturing toward her stuffed monkey. She couldn't wipe the smile off of her face.

Emma groaned. The girl couldn't have been much younger than her – two years maybe – and it was clear that Skye hadn't yet given up hope of being found by her real parents.

Emma may have only been seven, but she knew nobody was coming for her, and though she didn't tell her new roommate, she knew nobody was coming for Skye either.
