Your mama doesn't love you

"I heard you want to talk to me. Well, I hope whatever you want to say will make this trip worthwhile, because you don't want to waste my time."

Charlotte's lips fell open, stunned at the woman gazing down at her. Hera's voice was also pleasant in the ear, making her wonder if she should feel terrified or amazed by it. She didn't even know if she was relieved to meet Hera or scared that the person she went to "great lengths" to meet was now right before her. 

"Uh…" Charlotte opened and closed her mouth like a fish, only to end up swallowing the words back to her throat. 

How should she start?

What were the right words to start this?

Deep in Charlotte's heart, she felt like this discussion would only head south if she started her sentence wrong. She scrambled the words in her mind, unknowingly staring at Hera while she did so.
