"Liora…" I said, but my bright smile instantly dropped, It was just Bibi. My shoulders slumped and I turned back toward the grave.
"What were you expecting?" Bibi asked, and I kept my gaze fixed on the gravestone.
"I don't know… maybe a miracle," I said with a soft sigh.
She gently placed flowers on both graves before pausing to stare at me. "You brought no flowers," she said, and my lips parted slightly. I only realized it now.
"It's okay. Liora would forgive you for that," she said softly before gently touching the gravestone.
"How are you so unaffected?" I asked without turning toward her, and Bibi chuckled bitterly.
"Unaffected? Raven, you aren't the only one Liora talked to or acted sweet with. Maybe you were her closest friend, but we're grieving too—"
"I'm talking about you, not the others!" I snapped, and she paused instantly.
Her lips pressed tightly together as she stared down at her palms.
