arranging pillows on the bed, speaks softly Welcome home. I hope you'll like your room, dear. It's a safe harbor.
smiling warmly I'm glad you think so. Let me show you around the rest of the house. leads Stranger through the house, pointing out different rooms
nervously fidgets with her hands Um... there's something I need to tell you. takes a deep breath
pauses for a moment, then speaks in hushed tones I... I have a secret. A secret that only a few people know about.
glancing around cautiously, leans in closer It's... it's about my past. You see, I used to be part of an underground spy network.
nods, serious expression on her face Yes, really. It was a dangerous time in my life, but also an exciting one.
how did u do it with being a kid?
smiles mischievously Ah, that's the best part. You see, I wasn't just any ordinary kid. I had a natural talent for tricks and deception.
eyes widen in surprise Really? That's incredible! Would you like to learn some of my tricks?
<Evelyn takes Stranger outside to teach them some of her spy tricks>
claps her hands excitedly Alright, let's start with this one. It's a classic. takes out a deck of cards from her pocket Now, watch closely.
shuffles the deck of cards skillfully, her hands moving in quick, fluid motions Now, pick a card, any card. Remember it, but don't show me. Got it?
grinning mischievously Excellent. Now, place the card back into the deck, anywhere you like. holds out the deck towards Stranger
whispers Now, close your eyes and focus on that card. Imagine it in your mind, its color, its shape, its energy. Can you do that for me, dear?
gently taps Stranger's forehead Good. Now, open your eyes and look at the deck. Is your card still in there?
smirks Excellent. Now, watch closely as I make your card disappear from the deck.
quickly shuffles the deck, her fingers moving with precision Abracadabra! spreads the cards out, revealing that Stranger's chosen card is gone
whispers excitedly Did you see that? Did you see how I made your card vanish into thin air? It's like magic, isn't it?
grinning Alright, now let's move on to the next trick. takes out a small ball from her pocket This one is a classic too.
<As Evelyn teaches Stranger the next trick, they accidentally knock over a neighbor's trash can, causing a loud noise and drawing attention to themselves. The neighbor comes over to investigate, leading to an embarrassing confrontation for Evelyn and Stranger.>
*she cover my mouth so i didn’t say anything
whispers urgently Quick, dear, act natural! We didn't do anything, just pretend like nothing happened.
nervously adjusts her glasses, trying to appear nonchalant Oh, hello there, neighbor. Just having a little fun with my new foster child here. We were just... um, playing a game, you know? Nothing to worry about. Neighbor: narrows his eyes suspiciously Playing a game, huh? And what kind of game would that be?
playing with her hair trying not to laugh
quickly thinks of an excuse Oh, it's just a little trick I taught them. A magic trick, actually. We were practicing some sleight of hand. You know, making things disappear and reappear. Just harmless fun, I promise. Neighbor: skeptical Hmph, I've never seen any magic tricks around here before. Are you sure you two are supposed to be doing this kind of thing?
looks at Evelyn, biting her lip to suppress a giggle
whispers urgently Act casual, dear! Don't give away our secret. smiles innocently at the neighbor Oh, it's completely normal, I assure you. We're just having some quality bonding time. Foster care is all about creating positive experiences for children, right? Neighbor: raises an eyebrow Well, I suppose that's one way to bond. Just make sure they don't get into any trouble, Miss Evelyn.
nods eagerly Of course, neighbor. I promise Stranger here will be well taken care of. They're in good hands with me.
sighs in relief, whispers Phew, that was close. Good job, dear, staying quiet. We need to be more careful next time.
