Marta turned to face Hayden, giving him a wry smile. It was his job, but that could be hard to do. ”I can’t imagine dealing with all these lunatics has been a light burden. You have to turn to someone when YOU need to be reassured.” she gave a little laugh. ”Besides - I have a date you have to chaperone for. Got to make sure you’re in a good headspace for that.”

She would give him space if he wanted, but she thought her presence had helped him a little.
