Despite her desire for transparency with Rebecca, Melody chose to withhold the truth about her involvement with the underworld in Duskville. She maintained a guarded silence, a conscious decision to keep that part of her life concealed, understanding the potential complications and risks involved in revealing such sensitive information to her friend.
After sharing their stories, Rebecca and Melody looked at each other. Their eyes said a lot without words, affirming their strong friendship and the closeness they still felt despite the time apart.
"By the way, how's Dashiell doing now?" Rebecca asked. "Can he walk and talk? I remember how much I adored him, missed his cooing and chuckles."
"He's doing well, thank you for asking," Melody replied warmly. "He's making progress, but he's not walking or talking yet. But his laughter is the best thing ever, and every small step he takes fills my heart with joy."
