Mina winced. Suddenly she wasn't cursing her father
quite so much for sending her here - at least Toya had never beaten her in any form. Something she was grateful for - had Toya hit her, she'd have moved out years ago and probably been with her mother that time -
She stopped that thought where it was.
'I'm sorry for both of you,' she whispered, her voice tight and her eyes guarded as she kept the emotion from the errant thought from showing on her face.
