"I.... No, I don't think I can say it out loud again." Ariana said as her eyes started to sting. She knew she was going to start crying and it wasn't an appropriate moment. If she did would Cayden think she was playing the sympathy card? She didn't want him to hate her. "Do you want me to say it?" Edlyn asked gently but Ariana shook her head no slowly.
"I'm going to listen to my mom... I will wait until I know the truth first before I tell anyone else. I owe... I owe her memory that much." Ariana said with much strain. She found herself swallowing back vile, she really couldn't stomach the thought of those words escaping from her lips again. She must have been nuts to even say it the first time. She couldn't risk a second time, not without evidence.
