"Don't apologise sweetheart". My gran spoke. "It's a lot to take in and digest and it'll take time to process but take all the time you need because I want us all to be a family again, Leah.

"Handle telling me the truth?". I frowned.

She nodded. "I wasn't sure how you were going to react. I admit I was selfish, and I should have been honest from the start with everyone, but I didn't want to hurt anyone".

"So, you pushed me away to stop me from finding out the truth?".

"I know what it sounds like Leah, but I didn't mean for any of this to happen the way it did".

"I know". I sighed.
