Inesa winched at Seregil's remark. He wasn't wrong but she hadn't intended to keep it a secret. In fact, she hadn't known that she was supposed to tell him. This was her first real relationship that's made it beyond the awkward stages of attraction and Inesa was stumbling through the process. Luckily, Jon was stumbling through it as well.

"Yes. I am sorry about that Seregil but I am very happy that you are able to meet now." She squeezed Jon's hand with a warm smile as she turned to her love. "This is Seregil. He is my family."

Inesa didn't know what it was like to have parents but Seregil and Alec had come to adopt her during their time within the sphere.
