I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
The lighthearted mood was slipping away, and Melita's words made a lump form in her belly. Heavy as led, not the kind that could be swallowed away or ignored. Did the girl really mean that? Seren wouldn't be safe while talking to her sister's step-father? That Kamaria was fine had never been a doubt in her mind, but the thought of not being allowed to go near her was painful.
"I would never hurt him," she protested, misunderstanding Melita's words. "Why would I? I just... want to talk. And maybe get to see my baby sister. Is... is that wrong?" Biting her lip, Seren didn't feel at all as confident about this as she had been a moment ago. Staring down into the sand, her thoughts spun furiously. Could she just give up though? Not trying seemed the worse crime here. To simply let it lie... that would mean severing a connection before it could ever be allowed to take form.
She did not want to lose another sister without getting to know her.
