A small girl in a nightdress wanders down from the guest corridor.

Because Liam knows what she's capable of, there is a piece of paper firmly attached to the front of her clothes.

"My name is Megan. If I'm alone, my daddy is asleep upstairs in [insert room number here] and I've escaped. Please don't send me through the front door."

He laughs.

"Yeah - nice to meet you too. I'll see you round."

"Bye Megan!" She waved to the little girl.

Megan waves back, smiling.

"B'bye!"

Virginia walked away, smiling and hoping she'd be the sort of parent Liam seemed to be--aside from losing her child at strange bars.
