Malachi left her alone with his mother who showed her to a privy room where she could wash up and change clothes. She gave her a new set of jewelry to match her clothes then she wanted to help brush her hair.
"I can do it." She said.
"It is alright. I like to do it. It reminds me of my daughter."
Daughter?
"You have a daughter?"
"Yes."
"I haven't seen her."
"She is dead."
"I am sorry," Ravina said although she didn't feel sorry at all. She was completely numb today.
Araminta just smiled and continued to comb her hair. Maybe Araminta was kind not only for her son but because this made her feel like a mother to a daughter again. Sadly, Ravina felt like she would find her sister happy somewhere else and not feel the need to stay in this world to take care of her.
