Tara? Where are you? Tara heard inside her head. It wasn't quite like Willow's telepathy, but it didn't feel like her own thoughts, either. "Maia, honey? I can hear you. I'm right here, holding your hand. Where are you, sweetie?"

((okay to play with the chronology? Tara's emotions during the day are heavily influenced by how Maia's doing, but Maia's not necessarily experiencing time the same way Tara is.))
