“And she’s had how many years, without parents, teachers, bosses? I mean, even when she had foster parents, I don’t think it was sunbeams and rainbows, y’know?”

“Tell me she hasn’t gotten at least a bit better in the course of those ten months.”
“Marginally.”
“There you go. It’ll only improve from here on out.”
A little bit of hope for the being that lives in the dark.
He offered me a theatric groan in reply.
Hehe.
