She frowns a bit deeper at the words. "Away?" she says, in a soft, low voice. "What do you mean, 'away', sweetheart? I... I don't understand. He promised me he'd always take care of you... where has he gone?"
The hurt in her expression is clear. Her daughter is hurting so badly, and there's nothing she can say or do to help her, or ease her, because she doesn't know what's going on.
Without thinking, a direct command comes from her lips, and momentarily, she forgets the very reason why she's kept herself away all these years.
"Chloe, sweetheart, please... just tell me. Let it all go."
