The worry on Edward’s face lessened noticeably, and his tone became gentle. “This is a lullaby that Quinita used to sing to Evelyn when she was little. Ever since Evelyn… left, Quinita hums it every night.”

Elysia shook her head, her usually cool voice softening slightly. “I’m fine.”

Seeing Elysia’s response, Quinita carefully sat up and took her by the hand, guiding her to sit on the edge of the bed. “You
