Cam stood silently as he watched Ash bury the calf in the woods. They made sure that the calf was buried far away from Berryblue Farm so so that any wild animals wouldn't bother Piper and her animals. Ash sighed as he and Cam made their way back down the mountain.

"She was a mess this morning," Ash said with a frown, "I feel really bad for her. It's the first time she's seen death up close. The calf died in its sleep overnight."

Cam nodded; he remembered the first time he encountered death when he saw a kitten drown.

Laney was brewing tea while Georgia held Piper in her arms. Piper was doing her best to calm down but her sobbing resumed after a few moments of sniffling.

"I was wondering why Delia was making so much noise this morning. When baby Devan wouldn't wake up...he was the first calf I helped bring into this world."

Piper started crying again.

"There, there, Piper darling, it'll be all right."

Everyone in the room could sympathize with Piper. It was a grim reminder that life wasn't all sunshine and butterflies.

Everyone left hours later but not before leaving words of advice and consolation. Cam couldn't sit still at home; he wondered if Piper was going to get through the night without nightmares. He hardly got any sleep that night.

The next morning, Cam put together a large bouquet and hurried over to Piper's farm. He knocked on the door but there was no answer so he decided to check in the barn. Sure enough, Piper was there, gently brushing Delia. Cam wasn't sure if he wanted to approach her; she seemed deep in thought.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect Devan, Delia. It seems like I'm no good after all..." Piper sighed, "Even before I came to Bluebell...I was no good. I was too ambitious and wanted too much. Because of that, my mother started gambling to pay off my school debt because I had accumulated too much. She won twice but after that...I had to quit school to pay off her debts. Now she's so deep into gambling that everyone left her. If I didn't want to much, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Piper put the brush down and patted Delia's head. Piper's shoulders were trembling and Cam knew she was crying. She turned around and her face paled when she saw Cam standing at the entrance of the barn. She hurriedly wiped her tears.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough."

Piper was embarrassed. Did Cam hear what she said to Delia? Piper tried to smile,

"I'll make some tea for us."

She walked past Cam but he grabbed her wrist and stopped her from leaving.

"You think so lowly of yourself."

Piper frowned; so he did hear.

"How much did you hear?"

"Everything."

"Cam, you don't understand. I-"

Piper's eyes widened in shock when Cam leaned in towards her. Blushing, Cam pressed his fingers against her lips to silence her.

"You're perfect the way you are. You are not responsible for your mother's choices."

Piper's lip trembled and she whimpered, burying her face into Cam's chest as he held her tightly.
