The doctor lady’s tea was taken away and Mara mirrored the rejection with near mindlessness. While the doctor lady was talking, Mara became distracted when her pets were referenced.

Which was why a slim frown of disapproval bespoke her reaction at the interruption that followed. She didn’t know what was happening, but she kept her opinions to herself.
