patience, she told herself. patience was all that SHE NEEDED TO GET OVER THIS, BUT.. marisa was finding it very, very hard. in one side, there was lyra, who didnât even remember who she was. she was doing everything and all that she could to get her memories back, but.. so far, it had been useless. she believed he was her uncle and still held him a shire, just like she had, before marisa had destroyed her.. childish illusions, even if perhaps a little bit harsher than she should. felicity was still insisting on hanging around the house and.. THERE WAS A PART OF MARISA THAT WANTED TO YELL THE TRUTH AT HER, just to she if she would finally, finally get it and leave. she wanted some peace with lyra - her real daughter and.. as long as felicity insisted on hanging around them, she knew she was never going to get it. and.. she needed to find a way to get the girl out of their lives, once and for all, meanwhile trying to keep any semblance of normality in her life. sitting in the coffee shop, she ordered a simple black coffee - as she always did, whenever she needed to think. still, soon enough, a voice snapped her out of her thoughts and marisa looked up in irritation, even if the smile remained in her face. it always did, after all. âyes? is there an urgent matter i could possibly help you with?â her daemon had been sitting by her feet, observing the view, but as the other approached, he looked up, suddenly as irritated as her, making it one of the only few times that they were in complete agreement. she asked, the irritation clear in her voice, as she held on tighter to the coffee cup in front of her.
