For a moment, she completely forgot what she was going to say and just stood there, staring at Keira in shock.

Keira quickly looked back at Erin. "Is that true?"

Erin was on the verge of tears and nodded. "Yes, your mom's fine! Besides, the news I get from the South family only comes in once a month. Even if something really had happened, I wouldn't know about it yet!"
