"Talia?" I called her and watched her step slowly around Alexio. Now that the sniveling asshole was out of my office, she didn't feel the need to hide behind her guard anymore. I knew that she had to be feeling more emotions than she was letting on. She had liked the boy, and she found out that he was just using her. That had to hurt.
"Yes, Mom?" She gave me a look that was supposed to be calm and collected, but I wasn't fooled by it.
"I am sorry, sweetheart." I stepped closer to her and pulled her into my arms. "I am sorry that you had to go through that."
"It's OK, Mom. Really. I was starting to feel strange when I was around him anyway. Something didn't feel right to me, and I guess now I know why." She shrugged, but I still kept my arms around her. I was holding her against me and trying to comfort her as best as I could.
