Marta had been ordered to take the day off. It wasn't just that Aaron had told her she was working too hard, but Bruce had as well. Of course Bruce wasn't really one to talk, but Marta was far too tired to argue with either of them, so she decided to go for a walk. She needed some time to herself, away from the men in her life.
