My heart nearly stopped. Lyla had never set foot in my room before. Seeing her here felt so surreal, Quickly, I placed the frame face–down on my counter.

“It’s not a burden, Lyla and no matter what we would figure it out together. Can you trust me?”

She shook her head. “I can’t.”

I murmured something inexplicable under my breath. “You have to trust me now, I promise I won’t do anything that would put you in harm’s way. Please…please…Lyla, look at me…”

Gently, I lifted her chin, then with my other free hand wiped the tears on her cheeks. Her lips trembled and,
