Zoe, Luca, and Ash spoke about their day with a hint of excitement and that told me they were not mistreated.
Luca didn't say much, but his eyes lit up at the mentioning of food. Zoe was impressed with the laundry room and Ash couldn't stop talking about the garage and cars.
The first day was good, however, I was reserved because everyone here knew that Aldus and I are around, so maybe kids got an extra-nice treatment. Only time will show if this environment works for the three teenagers, and that is why I wanted them to have cell phones.
I feel responsible for them and I want to know what is going on, especially if after a month or two things suddenly turn worse.
