Night Corridor (33 page)

It was a relatively busy afternoon, the door opening and closing, but she knew the instant her daughter and the woman who had raised her as her own, walked through the door.

The sight of the girl made Caroline's breath catch. Her long hair was lighter than Caroline's, the color of caramel, but other than that, looking at her was like looking at the photo of herself that hung on the wall in her room, come to life. This is my child, she thought, the baby girl the nurse snatched from my arms that morning, while we both protested, little Elizabeth with her doll's fist striking the air. She looks happy, she thought. Lynne had said she was.

Elizabeth (Beth) set a copy of Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear on the counter and smiled up at Caroline. Her eyes were very blue, and there was a light dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks. "I'd like this book, please."

"She's a great little reader," her mother said.
