Nyla's expression turned more earnest. "Now that you and Hadley are seeing each other, there are a few things we need to discuss."

Nyla took Hadley's hand with a gentle grasp. "Hadley has always been dear to me, almost like my own granddaughter, yet she's faced many challenges over the years."

Silence did not mean ignorance. Nyla was deeply aware of Hadley's struggles.

While Nyla cared deeply for Hadley, her priorities had often leaned towards her own family.
