“Not until she is ready...."

Reminiscing about the past, Elsa's heart ached a little. Though everything was better now, she would never forget the pain all the three of them had been through. It was the darkest phase of their lives that would stay with them forever. 

The dark shadows of the past would never leave them, it would always be a part of them. 

"Was Andrew already there when your dad brought you and Owen home?" 

"No, Andrew came later," Elsa answered. "We had been staying a little over a year when grandpa and dad brought him home." 

Rachael opened her mouth to say something but she quickly held herself back. She wanted to ask Elsa about Andrew's parents and if she knew what had happened to them. 

Since his parents death was a very sensitive topic for Andrew, she always refrained from mentioning it in front of him. Asking Elsa was the only option in front of her.
