She could have said many things about the circumstances that had drawn Faolin away, but she refrained. Part of her wanted to point out how uncommon hurricanes were that far north, point out that she lacked apparent survival skills if a storm was able to take advantage of her. But part of her, if not the majority, evaded the idea altogether. Why bother? “How fortunate that you survived,” Corona said tonelessly as Faolin rose up and turned to face her. If she had never come back, would Gabriel have been none the wiser? Would he have snapped in the same way that Ahren eventually did when she never came back?
She couldn't help but hear Ahren's voice in the back of her mind and the promise to put an end to Matinee. “But I'm glad you're all right, and certainly not the only one,” and she mimicked the small smile her in-law gave with honesty. The situations were literally similar in their manner, husbands and their wandering, disappearing wives. Some taken, some leaving of their own accord, all of them had their reasons. “Where all did you go on this ship? I've been to a few places in the world over the last couple of years.” Part of her didn't want the conversation at all, but she persisted in having it. There wasn't any way she could still be so unadjusted and grieving all of these months later, right?
