I must have zoned out for a while because when I snapped back to reality, aria wasn't there. She had gone to her office to do work, that I'm supposed to do.
I walk to her office and before I even open the door I hear crying. I go into my office, across the hall, and write a small note. 'you can always talk to me.'
I slide the note under the door and walk away. I walk back to the living room and begin to look up child abuse laws. She had to figure out what law he broke before she could charge him.
Before I know it, aria walks into the living room. "bye ms.romanoff. sorry about concerning you, I'm ok." She says. I know she's lying but I know she's had a rough day, so I act like I don't.
After she leaves, I sit on the couch. Steve sits on the couch next to me. "hey, nat, its ok." He says.
"but what can I do? The only foster home in new york city ot for boys only. But I have go get her out of that house."
