In Hayley's mind Hope became that little girl again. She held onto her daughter as if by her embrace alone she could protect her. Hearing the emotional turmoil in Hope's voice, and what she had to do made Hayley want to go out and kill something. God help anyone if Klaus saw this.
"I am so sorry, Hope." She rested her cheek on Hope's hair and felt a deep sense of failure. She failed to make a better life for Hope. She failed to protect her daughter from the nightmares. Everything she swore to do she failed at.
