Let Him Go

Outside, in the living room, Lily nodded calmly at the woman and gestured her to sit down then also sat opposite.

" What would you like me to serve you, " she asked with a small smile and the woman shook her head.

" No, I'm okay... thank you." She smiled back then sighed inside and continued.

" Are you perhaps... her sister?" she asked with a small smile and Lily nodded with a small smile.

" Thank goodness." The woman sighed in relief then stared at the pretty girl regretfully, wondering how beautiful her sister would also look.

" What is your name," she asked softly.

" My name's Lilian."

" Lilian... what a beautiful name. can I call you Lily?" She asked and Lily slowly nodded.

" Lily, I have come here to speak with your sister. . . however, I'm thankful to meet you here because I feel so ashamed to face her, " the woman started and Lily's smile faltered a bit.
