Ms. Brour was very careful with me. She made sure I didn't bump into anything or fall down. She was very gentle. As we got closer, I asked why she blindfolded me. She said it was a surprise. When we got even closer, I heard voices. Then I heard a yell. It was a woman. A familiar woman. I started to squirm. But she held me firmly as we walked. We stopped and she opened a door. We walked in and the yelling continued. The first yell was, "Why am I here!? Why is my daughter blindfolded!?" Then I knew I was correct. It was mother. They called mother. They told me that They just wanted to make sure they had the right details. They sat me down in a chair. My mother asked them to take off my blindfold but they said no. Ms. Brour said, "There are people in the room that want their identity to stay confidential.". But I was glad. I didn't want to see her face anyways. Ms. Brour gave me a glass of water. Then the meeting began.
