The last thing Hotaru had expected was the couple she'd spoken to briefly on that Network that Steven had gotten her to join. When he'd first mentioned it to her, she'd told him that she couldn't because she didn't have her own computer, something that he already knew of course and the next thing she'd known, a laptop had arrived for her. She had tried to tell him it was too much, but he wouldn't listen and after that, she'd really had no other excuses why she couldn't join. So, she had and had been surprised that the first people who had replied to her, besides Steven, had been this couple, so seeing them in the living room was even more of a surprise.
Not only that, but she vaguely recognized them both of being in the news. No wonder Steven had been able to buy her a laptop and why the woman had offered her help with anything she wanted. She also couldn't help but wonder if Steven had asked them to adopt her. It couldn't possibly be a coincidence, could it?
"Yes." She nodded, hands in her lap, "It's nice to meet you both." Her voice was low as she spoke and she only made eye contact when answering or when she was spoken to.
