Hushed Willows how came her eyes so bright? not with salt tears:

she complies easily with his request. "of course, Sunny - I would never distance my family from yours. if it could, they'd be together." she'd wanted to give him space, after what she'd done, but now that they existed on entirely amiable terms and Aditya had more or less faded into the background, she truly wished she could up and move close to him. perhaps, she mused, she ought to have done so initially. but what was done was exactly that, and she would not leave Kavik without fulfilling her vow. it disturbed her, then, that he believes she might want to keep her own family separate from his, a chill that settles along her spine. she doesn't say aloud how she feels, however, and says, "you should come visit, when they're old enough. it isn't that far."
