    “I’m so sorry! What happened to your mother, James dear?” Cordelia asked gently, stopping her fidgeting and placing a delicate hand atop his wrist.

    He permitted the touch, although he was still warring with how exactly he wanted to answer her. He certainly wasn’t going to lie, the woman had been told too many harmful lies for him to be comfortable adding any, even if they were for his own benefit.
