Something is going on with my mother’s full approval that definitely needs supervising. Are they trying to recruit Paige into a cult? I feel no guilt about spying right now. I’m normally big on privacy, but I just need to make sure that there’s nothing . . . well, crazy going on. “I am here to serve you, Great One,” says the woman. “It’s okay,” says Mom to Paige. “She volunteered. We have a whole line of cult members who volunteered. They know how important you are. They’re willing to make sacrifices.” I don’t like the word sacrifices. I rush over to them.
