The kitchen looked like a normal kitchen, but the family room that opened out from it was less normal. It had pictures painted right on the wall in bright colors. There was a sort of high slanted table by the back windows and boxes, some half open. A tangle of shiny beads hung from the hanging light. A little boy sat in the middle of the rug, scrabbling in a nest of crumpled paper. She has a kid, Sophie thought, so she must be all right. Probably bad people had kids, too. But she decided to go with her first thought.
