Several times she tried to speak, only to stop short.
Skyla believed Nyomis words without hesitation.
Nyomis sharp memory could recount events from many years ago, and there was no plausible reason for her to fabricate such a claim.

After a long silence, she took Harlees hands in hers, her voice tinged with regret.
Im sorry... It was my carelessness that lost you, leading to your hardship since then.
Harlee felt a subtle flutter in her chest.
Skylas reaction was precisely what she had predicted, and that was why she had kept her suffering in the past hidden from Skyla, fearing the sorrow it would bring her.
With a comforting grip on Skylas hand, Harlee consciously softened her tone.
Mom, dont blyourself.
