Maya looked at Riyala for a moment when she heard her mom say this, and she huffed at Riyala's apologetic expression before she stormed towards the kitchen. Mira shook her head at her daughter's antics before she finally began asking Riyala about Radagan and how she was holding up.
"Well, things have been good—"
"Don't lie to me, Riyala. I know you've been working very hard. You don't need to hide anything from me."
Riyala was a little surprised when Mira said this, and she smiled tiredly before she nodded.
"Yes, I guess you're right. I've been really tired lately because of work and I… I miss Jason so much…"
