Voices snapped Sophie out of her tearful reverie.  She shoved the stack of letters back underneath her desk and tip toed over to her door, pressing her ear against the cold wood.

"I know.  But how... how do you think she's going to handle it when she learns that... that..."

Sophie held her breath, already feeling the tears start to come to her eyes.
