Chapter 332: Skeletons

Though Emily had been aware of the secret that she had kept since childhood. She had not realized that there were other secrets out there keeping her bound. Secrets like the fact that their mums knew one another, and that their fathers had died together.

But despite not knowing that they were there in the first place. Now that everything was out in the open, Emily felt that she could breathe easier. After going years weighed down by an invisible weight, she could finally stand straighter. That should have made Emily feel relaxed and content. 

For the most part, she was. But there was still one tiny part of her that would not settle. A small voice at the back of her head whispering insistently. It should have been easy for her to push it aside and ignore it. But it was proving incredibly difficult to do.

She was at least glad that their mothers did not seem to have the same problem as her.
