But after all these years, isn’t it a little too late to show up now?

On Saturday, Kaia went to visit her mother’s grave.

Lucien stood in front of the tombstone, noting how the woman in the photo bore a faint resemblance to Malcolm.

Kaia had inherited about sixty percent of her mother’s elegance and beauty. The rest, unfortunately, came from Tobias.

“Hello,” Lucien said with quiet reverence, “I’m your son–in–law, Lucien. I’m here with Kaia.”

He bowed deeply, a long and respectful gesture.

Kaia crouched beside the grave, speaking softly to the woman who could no longer reply.

“Mom, I’ve done everything I could to deal with the person who hurt you. That man… he wasn’t worth your love. I’m doing well. Your daughter has grown up. I can protect myself now.”

There was so much she wanted to say, but no amount of words could ever fully explain it.

She just wanted her mother to rest in peace, wherever she was.

As they were leaving, Kaia caught sight of a figure walking up the path. She turned for a second glance.

Lucien noticed too, and his eyes narrowed. “Let’s go.”

Kaia nodded and looked away.

Every spring, her grandmother took her to her mother’s grave. Tobias? After that first year, he never showed up again.

That, more than anything, was what she could never forgive.

When her grandmother grew too old, Kaia started coming alone.

She often wondered if something ever happened to her… No one would even remember her mom anymore.

Lillian’s parents cut her off way back. And Lillian hadn’t seen them in years.

Kaia lost in thought.

Are they still around?
