I would love to hear the story behind this, @kimberlylane. I've read it a few times, and can almost connect the dots! I think you have a complex tale going on here. Maybe it's worth exploring in a longer version. So the narrator has had her secrets stolen, and the special needs child turns out to not be special needs, but to be a reporter or spy, maybe? Very intriguing.
Yes, usually there is a complex tale behind what I write. Thanks for your reading and response. It's always interesting to hear how the reader perceives it and also to consider differing perspectives. It's like holding up a mirror!
