"Grandma, are you okay?" Lily inquired, noticing the flash of sadness that had crossed Zipfarah's face. Since her grandmother's strange illness and more stranger, but welcomed healing, she had noticed that the woman's gentle and calm face was sometimes preyed by flashes of longing and sometimes sadness. What could she be thinking about? Lily wondered, whilst waiting for a reply which she knew would be anything but the truth.
"Of course dear. I am fine. Just tired." Zipfarha replied, putting on a faux smile, a no surprise to Lily who just nodded, before resting her head on Damon's shoulder. "I miss Prescott though. You should have sent me with them." She cited, sighing tiredly at the end.
Leila scoffed, not believing that her twin was really serious about leaving her here alone with her two brothers to travel out of the vicinity with Emma. Why? Had they been that close? But they had only known each other for less than a week!
