Laura would yawn abit as she considered her next move and then look around the basement, grumbling to herself that sleeping here was 100% not an option. The 2 year old didn’t want to get caught and babied anymore then she had too, but where the hell could a now reduced toddler like herself go that was free of outside influences?
