At first, Caroline’s parents went along with her story, which went on to describe Clara as having all the characteristics that Caroline lacked: being mischievous, daring, and outgoing. They thought it was cute that Caroline had such a creative imagination. They went along with it, asking her questions about Clara and telling her that they’d love to meet her one day.
