Xyla walked over with a colorful chiffon scarf, showing it to her daughter with a beam.

Before she finished her sentence, the air went silent like it was warped into a vacuum.

Janine stared at Xyla, and Xyla stared back at her. Both of them looked at each other for some time, eyes widened, and calling each other’s name almost in unison.
