“Stop it!”
“Stop what?”
“That, that mask. The nothingness on your face.”
Kel kept her face blank still. “I can’t help it.”
“You can,” Alanna snapped. “You’re not in the Islands anymore, so stop it. You have no idea how frustrating it is to not see what you’re thinking and feeling.”
Kel turned away from her. “I don’t think you’d want to see what I’m feeling now that you’ve said that,” she said quietly.
The quiver of her shoulders gave her struggle to keep from crying away though, and Alanna felt as though she was being stabbed with guilt.
“I’m sorry,” she said. Why did it seem like she was always apologising lately? George thought it was funny, curse him. She stepped forward and touch Keladry’s arm gently. “I…I suppose I just don’t understand. Subtlety was never my strong point.”
A smile quirked on Kel’s lips and she relaxed. “It’s fine. Perhaps you’re right. If you must know, I didn’t want you to see the surprise on my face when I thought of you as a grandmother.”
