The sound of footsteps broke her out of the moment. So close had Finley been to shaking that terrible feeling of unfeeling, but now she was listening, and then turning to see her daughter. The girl looked up at her with eyes so very, very orange. She was reminded of pumpkins and their thick orange skin. She and Peregrine had tried eating them once. She planted a kiss on Liffey's crown before glancing again at the patch of earth that held her friend.
"I did indeed," Fin answered, gazing at the grave, "About time too, don't you think?" She had been so lethargic since coming home, a failure, and then hearing the news about Peregrine. It was probably a good thing as rest was needed in order for her to heal. But still, guilt tugged at her for not being there more for her family. They all had lost a lot, and they needed their matriarch to be strong now, not listless and heartsick.
