Ariella watched Kaylee's every move, from the way she didn't pay any attention to the mezuzah on the door of her house to the way she introduced herself. She seemed harmless but then again many people were good at acting. Murderers sometimes got off the hook because they were so good at lying and acting, so Ari kept her wits about her.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Kaylee." The girls name rolled off her tongue awkwardly, not being used to saying such an American sounding name. She smiled though to try and make it less awkward because she didn't want the girl to know that she was uncomfortable even having the young woman in her house.
Ariella quietly laughed a little at Kaylee's comments about the town being small. "It'll take some getting used to, that's for sure." She had already had a run-in with the gayest man in town and the biggest flirt in town, not to mention half of the teenage population that came to visit Ms. Zimmerman in the hospital. She had to admit that it was a little bit like home, except without the Jewish atmosphere which she so desired.
"So tell me about yourself. How old are you? Have you ever worked with kids before?" Ari tried to sound as informal as possible, like she was gossiping with an old friend, though she didn't quite pull it off as well as she intended to. Honestly, it might have been easier for her to just let the girl fill out a survey and hand it back in within ten minutes. She was just eager to judge the girl and decide whether or not she wanted to let her even look at Toby.
