I was no longer able to stop the flood of emotions coming up all at once and I was sure my father had no idea what was going on. But he must have understood enough to see that, whatever it was I was trying to tell him, it was enough to cause me to be in this much emotional distress just from talking about it.

He pulled me into his arms and held tightly onto me as I cried against him. Everything had spilled out of me all at once. Things I had sworn to never tell anyone, things I didn’t think I would ever be able to share with someone. But I didn’t care anymore if he thought I was insane. I couldn’t live like this.

“Shhh, Aria,” he soothed. “It’s okay.” I just clung to him tighter, burying my sobbing face further into his chest. “Please… help me, papa.” He didn’t say anything else after that, he just held me in his arms until I’d exhausted myself.

I was grateful that he didn’t push the topic again for that night. By the time I had finished shedding every last tear in my body, he just picked me up and took me to bed.

Father and I both now knew that I didn’t need the extra lessons and it allowed me to spend my time preparing myself physically for the difficult road ahead of me. The only person who probably ended up unhappy with the new arrangements was my former Luna studies tutor, Helen, who had been enjoying the easy paycheques up until recently.
