Evie
When hope and peace begin to fray
Her patience will always be there for him - when you grow up in an inescapable bubble with siblings like Sam and Amalia, the development of patience is a necessity of life. Besides, how can she possibly grow tired when he asks with such open-faced sincerity? It’s like Rae knew Evie begged her father for a puppy her entire life and decided to go “not a step-dad but the dad who stepped up”.
His description of Rae resonates somewhere behind her breastbone, and she reaches to squeeze Amhran’s knee gently. Balance is less terrifying a purpose than martyrdom. “We’ll help however we can. The first lesson of balance with a human body is knowing your limits - and we can start with your stomach.” Grinning, she pokes him in the side, and her smile softens as she glances toward Deimos. Evie hadn’t woken up prepared to add another member to the family, but if Rae is a master of one thing it’s this: knowing the perfect place for a seed to flourish.
