I'm so perplexed it's almost shocking

Her life, she knew, had been full of hardship - it seemed Leo's life was following a similar pattern. Heartache and loss, she supposed, were both facts of life, though she wished they did not hit so close to home for her son. She slowly lowered herself to Leo's side as they spoke, happy to simply spend time with him, though if it was conversation he desired she could surely provide that as well. He was far wiser than he realized, she knew that, but she'd had years more life experience; hopefully she could provide him some insight, whenever he needed it.

His question took her by surprise. No one had ever really asked her about it before - actually, no one had ever asked much about Maverick's disappearance. He'd betrayed her quite deeply. No.. he'd betrayed his entire family, and his children were included in that. "I've considered it," she answered honestly. She had no intentions of ever lying to her children, even if the answers weren't what they wanted to hear. Was Leo wondering if he might someday move on from Svetlana's disappearance? "But I'm not honestly sure if I have it in me to love another as I did your father." She'd given her life to him - no, they'd made a life together, and he'd shattered it with such unforgivable ease. "Sometimes it feels easier to be alone than to risk heartache, though part of me misses the companionship. If I found the right one, I'd probably consider it." Epiphron shrugged, hoping she'd helped him somewhat - though even she was not totally sure what she might do, if such an opportunity arose.
