Charley nodded. “I know.” she sighed. She wished she could promise nothing bad would happen or offer some sort of comforting words, but she knew there was simply nothing to be said.

Marcel heard Charley and he shrugged. "I mean I don't have much of a choice. I noticed the signs and I've kept a documentation on her. If it helps, then I'll do it," Marcel said.

Marcel heard her question. "Once. When I was getting the court to take away Jamie's rights as a mother," Marcel said to her. "It was one of the most terrifying but satisfying things I ever had to do."

Charley chewed at the inside of her cheek. "This is going to be different. In trials by jury lawyers tend to try to make witnesses seem incompetent." she said. She didn't know much about the American law system, but she had seen plenty of trials back in England. The system couldn't be too different.

Marcel heard what she said and he shook his head. ”Baby I’ve seen enough law and order to know what a court room is like. I have documentation. If it’s not enough and my efforts weren’t good enough for a conviction, then at least I can say I tried,” Marcel said

Charley nodded. “I know you will,” she muttered. Of course he would because Marcel was purely a good person. He’d go much further on behalf of a stranger than most people - especially most New Yorkers. “I don’t think Ari’s going to be happy about staying in her room much longer,” she commented.

Marcel heard her mutter and he smiled gently at her. He then heard her comment about Ari and he nodded his head. "You're correct," He said. "But first..." Marcel pulled Charley close to him and he bent his head to kiss her softly, his hand tangling in her hair. It was one of his favorite things to do when he got home. Greet his daughter with a kiss on the head and his girlfriend with a kiss. He pulled away with a quick kiss before he grinned. "You can come out now Ari!" He heard the door open and the squeal of Ari before he felt an arm wrap around his leg and another one, he saw, wrapped around Charley's.
