a hint of smile curls her lips , and though she’s tall and far too different from the child she used to be , for a second she wants to hug her and ask her to hide her from the world outside , the terror , the strife . and yet this is enough — the gentle push of someone caring , something nurturing . something motherly . fiona nods delicately , a single glance thrown at the couch where mateo and karina are sleeping peacefully . “ i’ll be back ” , her voice merely a whisper made rough by the days spent out in the cold , and yet warm enough because some life is given back to her every time she’s hanging around this place . as she takes a step away from the door , she turns just slightly once more . “ you’ll take care of yourselves , right ? i’ll be in the neighborhood . ”
