Daren took a deep breath and stood up from the couch, walking back into the hallway. He saw Aria on the phone, just hanging up as he approached. "I hope that was Dante. Victoria looks like a mess. She's worrying herself sick over him." He said to her quietly, sighing as he glanced up at the tall and well built man in the driveway. He didn't give him a smile, but he didn't dare shoot him a glare either. He cleared his throat and stared at Aria's face as he waited.
Victoria barely felt him get up and leave her. Her eyes stayed transfixed on the screen, her mind a lot farther away then reports about mass killings in California. She bit her lip, ducking her head as she hid her face, shaking with silent sobs.
