The letter was from Aunt Mahin...

"I passed your letter and the photograph on to your mother, She said she’s glad that you have your father’s house to return to. And Darien is such a lovely child. She cried when she saw his picture.

But keeping a distance is the only way she can love her new life, one that suits her better...."
