Quinn had taken the place that Getty believed belonged to her, enjoying the love and attention that she felt should have been hers. This deep sense of resentment towards Quinn left Getty feeling incredibly uneasy. Anyone would feel resentful in his place.

Quinn turned her head to find Ms. Miller's smiling face. She stared in disbelief for a moment before slowly sitting up from the bed and asking, "Who are you?"

The smile on Ms. Miller's face froze, "Don't you recognize me? I'm Ms. Miller."
