Druid began to explain, and Fiona sensed her discomfort. She knew it could be difficult to talk to a near stranger, but Fiona also knew that some things were impossible to talk about with those you knew best. Finally, she caught a glimpse into the new mother's thoughts. She was exasperated, to say the least. Fiona took mental notes, trying to remember anything from her training that might help her gently guide Druid into a happier place.

I promise you're not an awful mother, Fiona assured her in a warm voice. You're here, talking to me, trying to make it better, aren't you? she asked, though the question was rhetorical. The fact that Druid had accepted her offer for help was a step in the right direction. Before you were pregnant, what did you like to do? she asked. If Fiona could find out what made Druid happy before the kids, maybe she could give her some babysitting time so Druid could reclaim some of her old self back.
