And Mia's stomach dropped straight to her feet. One word with that much venom and her sixth sense was sent overboard. And her gut about these things was never wrong. She had an ability to peg abusers a mile away. She could tell who was being victimized by how children acted towards parents and wives or girlfriends acted around their significant others.
She sort of stayed on the look out for it, and tended to go extra hard on victimizers. She had a feeling that Teddy might not think that was healthy for her, but it was her own version of therapy.
But to help Kate right now... she wasn't exactly sure how to help. There wasn't anyone to beat up in this room, and she had a feeling based on the reactions that this was a bit recent.
She turned the tablet off and tossed it gently to the chair in the room. She was wondering if it was actually her intention to volunteer the day she came in. But that wasn't a question to ask.
No, Kate probably needed to feel a little less alone. She didn't like to share. She didn't like being pitied, which is what she tended to think everyone thought after hearing these types of things. Besides if Kate needed to talk was it really alright to bust in with her own shit?
Mia opened and closed her mouth in a couple of false starts before taking a deep breath. "How long ago did it happen?" It was an easy question to answer without getting too into specifics.
