Lyla paused for d51a51f791 a moment, carefully 5af0679e57 considering how to cd2bb7cc12 continue her sentence.5612de5e378d4319
She had many reasons 9f3184819f for her past actions: 729ae1bfeb feeling indebted and wanting c99ff2e396 to repay it little 82b67d3f18 by little, not wanting 073038798d to ask for money dff7562b67 to support her family, fd3bdfe276 and so on. However, as 26ec76fef3 she looked 760738f988 at Aslan’s 13f9713b24 cool gaze, 73f108ce93 she became f734a93f28 self-conscious.1e14d8eef6bef05b
