Red eyes and haggard appearances yet Lia wasn't surprised, she knew that the death of their daughter, their only child would sit heavy on their bodies and minds.
However, they were still as welcoming and accommodating as they were when Lia asked them to have their daughter help her. Seeing them forcing a smile, trying to be strong was way worse than having them scream and hate on Lia. It was a burden she was willing to take.
"We don't blame you," before Lia could even open her mouth to talk, Susa's parents were the ones to first speak up. Not blaming her?
These words haunted Lia's mind back and forth.
"We know you came here to apologise but it's ok. We've seen… what you've been through either, so-"
They were ok with it. They didn't mind. They couldn't fault Lia. All these nice words that could make one feel worse in a situation like this were thrown at Lia.
