Laurel was still afraid of what might come, though Valette did not frighten her nearly as much as the patriarch. Valette, she said and Laurel forced a smile to her face.

She frowned, knowing that it wasn't enough, but offering something anyway -- partly out of fear, partly out of genuine regret for their deaths.
