Chapter 29

• Annabelle looks like none of them. She may be tall, but she’s definitely not petite on their anorexic scale. She's thin but has curves in all the right places, unlike their ruler-straight physiques. She has an athletic body that she's proud of— that she works hard at to maintain—whereas they look like they have no need to even think about exercise. Annabelle has curly hair in a rich chocolate brown color that stops midway down her back; it is unruly and a pain, but it suits her. She continues the comparisons until she tells herself that she needs to just get off the page before she becomes depressed. That her hatred toward them has nothing to do with them in particular.
• Annabelle goes back to Google and types in “Nicholas Kensington childhood.” The first few pages reference children’s organizations that he is involved with. She quickly scans through the links, looking for one mentioning his childhood in particular.
• She finally finds an old article written five years ago. Nicholas was interviewed in connection with a charity he was supporting that benefited new changes speeding up the adoption process.
