sosoSO sorry for this awful wait 
That last month of college was a rough one
At first the man did not react to her presence, and she wondered if he could even sense that she was here through the suffocating cloud of his grief. Savina said nothing more though and simply stood and waited in silence. She would stand here until he decided to talk. It did not matter what he said, even if he asked her to leave she would respect his wishes. But it looked like Leon needed someone right now, another soul who understood loss so intimately. The Marino matron was hardly a sturdy individual for someone else to lean upon at this time, but she would do what she could.
The dark male's voice was strained when he finally did issue speech, but the words that came from him spoke to the very core of her own misfortune. "The Fates are cruel indeed," accented tones agreed. Her one child had finally awoken from her seemingly endless slumber only for her to find that her other one had been killed in cold blood. That disturbing ruby gaze of the murderess blazed in her mind's eye, sending her stomach to twist itself into nauseous knots. "My body has healed, but my heart still bleeds," she said by way of confirmation. Savina was not surprised that he had heard the news; the whole pack must know by now what had happened. "I am sorry that your old hurts are being reopened." Losses from the past could still sting fresh. The Consul felt the pain of her mother's death each time she looked into her children's eyes and knew they would never know their grandmother.
