"Let's hide in the wardrobe then."
Juniper pressed her daughter's head against her chest and agreed, "Yes, let's do that."
Her daughter's room didn't have other smaller rooms or private chambers like her and Edwin's. So there wasn't much option for them to hide.
Juniper hurried towards Joy's wardrobe and got inside. She shut the door close and sat down in a corner, hiding in between the piles of clothes.
She lightly caressed her daughter's head and instructed her, "Let's stay here for a while, okay? Don't speak a word if you hear someone outside, no matter who it is… unless it is your father who came for us."
Joyce nodded. She then put her little arms around her mother's neck and clung to her mother.
Though her mother was making it sound as though her grandmother wasn't a big deal, and that they were just playing hide and seek with her, she knew better.
