| I woke from a restless sleep and slowly sat up. I could tell my eyes were puffy and probably swollen. I'd spent most of the night crying. I sighed and got up, finding a pair of clothes on the dresser. They looked like they would probably fit well enough so I picked them up and made my way to the bathroom. I needed a shower badly.

| I made sure the cook was starting breakfast and I poured two cups of coffee. I was walking upstairs when she came out of her room "Morning." I told her and I could tell she hadn't slept. I hadn't either, really. "I thought you'd like some coffee?" | |

| "Thank you. Maybe after my shower though," I said quietly. | |

| "That's fine. Thank you." I walked past him and into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. | |

| I went into her room and left the coffee on the dresser. I went back downstairs and waited for her. | |

| I finished my shower and dressed, hanging my towel up before leaving the bathroom. I didn't know where to put my dirty clothes, so I carried them back to my bedroom with me. I put them on the floor then picked up the coffee, sipping it as I sat down on the edge of the bed. It was cold, but I drank it all slowly, sitting there for a few minutes longer before finally getting up and going downstairs. I couldn't stay up here in my room all day. | |

| I was sitting in the living room in my chair when she walked in "Hey." | |

| I nodded. "That sounds nice," I said and paused a moment. "Could I ask you something?" | |

| "I just... wondered what time Zoey would be here. And... and where Raine is? They... they said I could only keep Zoey with me." | |

| "Zoey will be here this evening after her medical evaluation and Raine was given a working position within the Capitol. She'll have her own living space there and get paid. I suspect after all of this settles she'll be allowed to visit and you'll be allowed to see her as well. The young woman who will be looking after her is a really great person, you'd like her. Her name is Molly." | |

| "Why can't she stay here with me? She's... been through quite a lot. She requires special care," I said softly, wondering how much he knew. It wouldn't have been in her file that she'd tried to kill herself, but anyone who'd seen her would've seen the scars. | |

| "What kind of special care? If you don't mind me asking that is." | |

| "You might as well know." I looked away from him. "I don't know if... what happened was in our file or not, but... before we left... some Peacekeepers came to my friend Erica's house. They beat up my son and her two boys. Then they... they raped both of us. And... and they raped my daughter. She's never been able to get past it. While we were out in the wilderness... she tried to kill herself. She cut her wrists pretty badly." | |

| "That's awful, I'm sorry that happened." I said, a silent rage coursing through me. "We'll need to let Molly know about that then so she can watch her closely. I'll take you if you'd like, considering the circumstances I don't think Tywin will say much." | |

| I looked up at him and felt tears in my eyes. "Really? I can see her?"

| "I'll grab my keys and meet you at the car." I said getting up and putting down the paper I'd been reading. | |
