"Waverly is everyone's angel, Bobo. She took it up when I couldn't, and Rosita was about to-" she stops, and goes over the events in her head, and applies a heavy filter of withheld truth.
"She was saving a baby. Just about the only thing in Purgatory as innocent and perfect as Waverly."
She aches when she says it, but her poker face only falters a little. "And Willa- I could see it in her eyes. She was begging me to do it," she can't stop the tears from welling now, but let him think they're just for Willa, not her own daughter.
"I could see the regret, and pain. She made her peace. She's not with Daddy."
