“What do you want to apologize for, Verlinda? What’s happening?“ I ask, walking up to her, but she starts crying again, causing me to pull her into a hug. She cries in my arms for a long time before pulling away from the hug and wiping her tears. I walk her over to the couch and sit her down, worried about her. It’s obvious this thing with Mati hit her hard. I’m sorry about the baby. She says, wiping her tears one more time. She says she feels responsible and should have seen what Mati was doing, but that’s not true. How could she have seen it? I was also there. I lived with Allira, but I couldn’t see it. I saw there was tension between them, but I never knew the extent of it. I didn’t realize how miserable my baby was. If anyone should have known, it’s me.
