Chapter 187 - Read To Me
"It came in with the report from Inaymi," Eli said, handing the letter to her. "I will be back shortly---"
"Stay. Let's read it together."

"Are you sure?"
"Yes." She nodded, cutting off the seal so she could finally read the letter.
Lytio had a lot to tell her, he had started by reporting about her family's situation.
The trial was over, as was her mother's freedom. She would be marched to her quick death in a week, having been found guilty of murder as well as other crimes.
Her father had hit rock bottom mentally, absolutely losing his mind at his wife's judgment. He was crazy and now he was locked away somewhere to be taken care of.
The first night without his wife, he had attempted suicide. The second night, he had held his grandson hostage and threatened to kill Arlo if his wife wasn't released back to him.
