Looking over to Vy, Carole realised how much older she looked. It felt like it was just yesterday that they had met for the first time. She had looked so young, so full of life. Something about her had changed.
It was at this point that Carole noticed the injury around Vy's eye.
How could she have overlooked that?
Thinking back to the previous time she had seen Lycster, something was not quite right either. Was he missing an arm?
How and when did all of this happen?
Carole began to regret slapping Vy across the face. It was like rubbing salt on Vy's wounds.
"I'm sorry for the slap," Carole apologised as she looked towards the side.
Carole had been so focused on her own emotions that she failed to notice the pain that Vy and Lycster had gone through. To have suffered such injuries and witness Elette's death first hand must have taken a toll on both of them.
