Arrow Lake clair de lune

She wanted to believe Atanik would come back, but she couldn't help but expect the worst. Everyone else who had gone missing, aside from her sister, had remained missing. So what makes this any different? It seemed she was doomed to a life of searching for missing loved ones. Couldn't she have been spared the grief of losing a child, though? 

With Tahani's next words, it was impossible to ignore her condition any longer. Taki hadn't wanted to ask—she couldn't bear any more tragedy, but she wasn't one to avoid things. First, though, she answered her question. No. He looks more like his father...black and light grey. She only paused briefly before adding: But, Tahani, you can't go looking for him..you're sick; I can tell. Despair filled her expression as she sought her sister's gaze. Taki desperately wished she would tell her she was wrong in her assumption.
