Marta nodded in understanding. She needed time. Nox needed time. They all needed time. There was nothing wrong about her being upset. She would make it. Right now, things hurt, and they would for a bit. She leaned in and wrapped Hayden in a hug. "Thanks for talking. I'll head out and take a nap soon. That will help."
Marta let Hayden take her leave. She turned to Cadence. "I'm sorry if you didn't understand all of that. I've not had things easy until Ricky helped." Marta shrugged. "I'm guessing you probably want to hear about it."
Cadence gave her a smile. "If you'd like to share, I'll listen, but I won't force you to. I know about trauma myself, and I know it can be hard to share, especially with someone you don't know very well."
Marta nodded and was glad she understood. "Sometime I will, but right now, I don't think I can talk about it." She smiled a little bit. "Sorry if I stared a lot when I first saw you. It was kind of cool to get to see you."
Cadence laughed. "That's okay."
Marta gave her a hug. "Thanks for being with me today."
Cadence returned the hug and then she headed out after making sure Marta would be okay. Marta sat back down next to Splash. For now, she just wanted to be alone for a bit.
