“Mama, who is she?”

“Is there something you need?”

Raina’s eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp and piercing as she studied me with undisguised suspicion. “I heard

you were talking to…what’s her name? Athena,” she said, her tone accusatory. “What was that all about?”

I sighed, the weight of Raina’s hostility adding to the burden that already weighed heavily upon my shoulders. “It was nothing.” I replied wearily, my patience wearing thin. “Just catching up with an old friend.”
