"Uh…" Zaria did not comprehend the change in her mood, so she turned to look quizzically at Ryan.
He understood his little sister more than anyone would, so he gently explained, "You promised to visit her often, but it's been long since you did, so she is sad about your broken promise."
Zaria suddenly remembered that she did make that promise. "I'm so sorry!"
She had been so caught up in the current matters that it slipped her mind. She looked down at the teenager clinging to her apologetically. "I'm sorry, Nina. I really didn't mean to forget it…" She didn't want to dump her issues on the girl so she cut it short. "Will you please forgive me?"
Nina scanned her expression as though gauging whether she was being honest. When she was satisfied, she nodded slowly. She then looked at her with sparkling eyes as though she was anticipating something.
Zaria unconsciously darted her eyes to Ryan who was watching with a smile while leaning against the door.
