Thanks Connie! Here's the next part!

“My mother?” Coralie asked, startled. “Why do you need to know about my mother?”
“I was just wondering how the files could be incomplete.” said Jaxon. He took a step closer to the girl when she didn’t reply. “You do know how she died, right?
Slowly, she nodded. “Of course I do.” she whispered. Coralie wasn’t looking at him anymore. She was staring at a point on the floor next to the bed.
“Can you please tell me?” He asked. “Coralie?”
Tears had welled up in her eyes, and one was already streaming past her cheek.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” she was finally able to say. “Not now.”
“Dinner’s ready.” Sage said, appearing in the doorway. “It’s getting cold.”
“We’ll be right there.” Jaxon said. He was still watching Coralie, who hadn't moved.
Sage glanced between the two, then with a shrug, she walked back down the hallway to the kitchen.
“I’m sorry.” Jaxon said when she was out of earshot. He moved to stand right in front of her. “You can tell me when you want to.” He wiped her cheek with the back of his hand. “Come and get something to eat.”
As he was leaving Coralie finally spoke up. “Jaxon?”
He turned around in the doorway, one hand paused on the frame.
“Thank you.” she said. “For everything.”
Half a smile spread over his face before he finally left.
Coralie waited. She couldn’t tell him how her mom died, she just couldn’t. But she couldn’t keep this secret either. She desperately wiped her face and checked herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were flushed a pink and her eyes were slightly red. She pulled the necklace out of her pocket and without a second thought she stuffed it in the drawer with the journal.

“So Coralie, Jaxon told me you like to read.” Reyes said, matter of factly.
The four of them were sitting at the old wooden table in the kitchen. A plate of pork and baked potatoes sat in the middle on a place mat. Steam floated up to the ceiling, and the whole room had the aroma of different spices.
The girl’s eyes flickered over to Jaxon, who was staring innocently at his cut-up baked potato.
“Yeah, a little.”
“How’d you learn?”
Coralie hesitated. “I had to teach myself.” she said at last. “I’m not too good, but I know some of the basics.”
“I like to read.” piped up Sage. “I have a few things that might interest you. I could help you as well, if you need it.”
“Thanks.” said Coralie. “I’d really like that.”
The room got quiet for a few minutes.
“So Jaxon, are you sure your family won’t miss you tonight?” Reyes glanced up from his pork.
“Nah. They’ll understand.” said Jaxon. “Dad’s still busy at the Ministry, and mum’s probably just making dinner for her and Addy.”
“Oh, Addy. How is she?” Asked Sage, before more silence filled the air.
“She’s good. She’s grown since you last saw her.”
“And your mother?” she continued.
“She’s fine as well.”
“Your family will have to come for dinner sometime soon.”
“Definitely.” Jaxon said.
“I take it we’ll be seeing you more often.” Reyes stated casually.
“Huh?”
He flicked his eyes between him and Coralie.
“Yeah.” He said, flushing a slight pink. Coralie pushed a strand of curly brown hair behind her ear uncomfortably. “I guess you will.”

So what do ya think?
