[ He gives her an out so easily, she has to turn her gaze back to where Yancy and Mako Mori have their heads bent together.
Would it be that easy? It could. She could take Yancy and walk away from this, keep quiet about her daughter's blood connection to the Beckets until her little girl's a little older, a little more independent. But Naomi thinks about how that would hurt, can imagine how cheated Yancy might feel because she'd been five feet from her uncle, from the one person who could tell her about the father who never knew she'd been born. Who'd died a hero off the Miracle Mile in Anchorage when she was just three years old.
Naomi can take a lot of things, but the idea of her daughter upset at her years from now because she was too chicken to let an opportunity happen is one thing she's not sure she can live with.
She looks back at Raleigh, presses her lips together and chooses her words carefully. ] I'd be a terrible mother to deprive her of the last blood connection she has to her dad.
