Kaylani sighed quietly, blinking back the tears gathering in her eyes, she had long decided she would not shed tears over this anymore...her mother would have wanted better for her.
"Your mother... she...?" Kelevi asked hesitantly, his heart aching as he could hear the pain and self blame Kaylani had struggled with all these years.
"You don't have to say anymore..." Kelevi spoke up when Kaylani did not say anything for a short moment.

It was a part of her life that was much too fragile that she had forced it to the very depths of her mind along with all the grief and pain that accompanied it,
But returning back to the place of her childhood and setting eyes on her father again had completely turned Kaylani's composure upside down.
