Lily turned her head to look at the little boy sitting next to her, not even having the courage to tell him her true identity.
The little boy looked down at the stone steps beneath his feet and said faintly, "I know you dealt with those women to stand up for me."

Lily felt her whole heart submerged in a solution of sorrow.
