Evelyn's heart skips a beat when Rose mentions the attic. She remembers...
*********************************
EVELYN:
Evelyn and Sister Abigail had finished icing the desserts so they moved to help put up the remainder of the decorations.
“Is this everything that’s left?” Sister Abigail peered into a box with minimal decorations and then looked at all the blank space on the walls. Sister Sophia shook her head from the entry way.
“No, I believe there is another box or two in the attic.” She motioned up the stairs.
Sister Abigail nodded and handed a decoration from the current box to Evelyn.
“Okay, I’ll be right back. I have to go get more decorations from the attic. You put this wherever you want it okay?” Sister Abigail smiled.
“Don’t go.” The little girl looked afraid as she tugged on the nun’s dress. “There’s a monster up there…”
Sister Abigail gave her a sweet look and knelt down to Evelyn’s eye level.
“Sweetie. There’s no such thing as monsters..”
“Uh huh. I saw it.”
Sister Abigail senses the fear in Evelyns voice.
