She didn’t even acknowledge her
She said “Lily!” when she arrived. Honey, I’m so happy that you’re okay. “Come here, let’s give you a big hug!” She expected a positive reaction.
Lily initially ignored her. Lily didn’t even look back at her mother.
She finally turned around
Emma was confused at this reaction. Why didn’t Lily look at her? Didn’t Lily miss her? Emma repeated her name several times. When the girl did not respond, she grabbed the girl by the shoulder.
Emma was stunned when she finally turned her back.
