Lilith's breath caught. "I didn't say that."
"You didn't have to. I can see it in your face." Wren's expression softened. "It's okay, you know. To love them. Even if it's terrifying."
Lilith looked down at her hands. "It is terrifying."
"I know." Wren reached across the table again and squeezed her hand. "But you're one of the strongest people I know. You'll figure it out."
Lilith wanted to believe her. She really did.
