Eleanor nodded slightly, and after a long silence, she relayed the events of Area Opaca to Hailey.

Hailey listened, stunned for a moment, and then lifted her hand to tenderly touch Eleanor’s thin face, “You’ve suffered a lot.”

That was all she said. She didn’t try to console Eleanor or defend Bernard, but her words spoke volumes.

Eleanor wanted to shake her head and deny it, but the pain in her heart surged forth at Hailey’s words of comfort.

Eleanor slowly lowered her lashes, “There’s nothing to be upset about. I’m used to it.”
