"What's the matter, Dad?" Lith turned to his father, his eyes ever so slightly warm. "Do you want me to congratulate Trion for doing the right thing for once? Do you want me to forgive him just because he did the bare minimum after abandoning you for years?
"That's a lot to ask. Forgiveness can be asked, but receiving it is another question entirely. Tista can do what she wants. As for my forgiveness, it must be earned. Words are cheap and so far, Trion only did what he had to do to keep living as one of my Demons."
"Lith!" Kamila met his eyes and said nothing more.
She knew how complicated family relationships were and asking him to forgive his brother would have been like him asking her to forgive her parents. Yet she could see the pain in Elina's and Raaz's eyes and it hurt her deeply.
