Jade Fern Grove All the small things

The feeling was mutual - Sarah too could not believe that she was seeing her baby sister eye-to-eye again, that the girl was doing well, seemed happy enough, if not for the dark cloud that had hidden the sun away for a while. She assumed that, if Maia had met Terance, then she already knew. Which spared her to go through the story again, though she would, if her sister asked to. She deserved to know every detail, no matter, how painful it would be for Sarah to recount it. 

She did not know really, what to say or how to break the silence between them. Time had passed, since they had last met, they had grown a bit distant from each other and it was quite natural not to know, where to begin. And therefore she decided to face the least favourite subject and get past it. She almost felt that it would be a lot easier to face Maia afterwards, than it was to face Terance. 

"I understand that you know, why I am here," she had not chosen the best words, but it was a start. "I am sorry that our reunion could not happen under happier circumstances."
