Instead, he looked at his mother who was sitting at the corner of the study.

Meeting her son's eyes, Luna Kimberly who had been silent since she arrived in the room, finally spoke up. "Fiona should have known better. A future Luna must be strong, Zachariah. As embarrassing as it is, Fiona made a mistake."
