《Leyton》When I get off the phone with Peyton I walk back to the playroom to see Sapphire sitting at her easel drawing so I walk up to her, hey sweetheart what are you drawing? She didn't say anything so I look at the drawing and see that it's a drawing of Sapphire in the orphanage sitting in the corner, so I look at her baby what's this?
《Sapphire》That's a picture of me in the orphanage sitting in the corner, daddy can I tell you something?
《Leyton》You can tell me anything you know that
《Sapphire》Well this was before you started volunteering at the orphanage when I was at the orphanage there was another reason why I was sitting in the corner all the time
《Leyton》Why is that baby?
《Sapphire》None of the other kids wanted to play with me there was only one of the staff members that liked me and her name was Jewel and one day all the staff members made a day to go to the zoo and I was so excited couldn't sleep the night before so when it was the day of the zoo trip I was all ready to go and the mean staff members said I was not invited so I looked up at Jewel with tears in my eyes and I ran back to my corner and cried I overheard Jewel say to the mean staff members that what they did was not right and so uncalled for then I heard Jewel say that if I can't go to the zoo then she won't go either so the rest of the kids and the mean staff members walked out the door, Jewel walked over to me and sat with me in the corner and hugged me and I cried on her shoulder asking why are the other staff members and the kids so mean to me, she said she didn't know so while they were at the zoo Jewel and I made our own little zoo with the stuffed animals they had and the next day is when you started volunteering there
《Leyton》Oh baby how come Jewel never told me that?
《Sapphire》I don't know daddy, hey daddy do you think I can get a pet?
《Leyton》What kind of animal do you like?
《Sapphire》I like cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, turtles and bunnies
《Leyton》Well what is your favourite pet?
《Sapphire》My favourite pet is a hamster, can I get a hamster daddy please, please, please, I give him my best puppy dog eyes and when he looks at me I know I got him when he says
《Leyton》OK OK enough with the puppy dog eyes you can get a hamster
《Sapphire》Yay thank you daddy, I stand up and take my daddy's hand and pull him out of the playroom
《Leyton》Where are you taking me?
《Sapphire》To the pet store come on come on, I get my shoes on when I got my shoes on I take my daddy's shoes to him here daddy your shoes, when my daddy puts his shoes on I take his hand again and we walk out the door to the car and my daddy helps me in the backseat and buckles me in then he gets in the front and we head to the pet store, when we get there my daddy gets out of the car and comes to my side of the car and helps me out then we walk into the pet store, daddy look at all the little animals then I see the one thing that scares me a spider, I look at my daddy and say daddy there's spiders
