Robards' words confirmed the sneaking suspicion that she'd been having -- they were Ava's guardians now. That meant they were suddenly parents, and they couldn't very well say no. That would be -- well, it would be disrespectful to their dead friends, and it would be horrible for this little girl to have to go and live with some strangers because they were too selfish to take her.
Victoria took a deep breath in.
"Well, the more the merrier!" She reached out to beep Ava's nose after a moment of tense consideration, laughing nervously and leaning in to whisper to Vinny, "It isn't like we can just -- say no. I mean, I'm from a big family...and her poor parents..." she was used to taking care of siblings, at least. Maybe this was going to be like that?
Except that the girl would be around all the time and when were they ever going to find time for sex ever again -- Vinny could probably see the panic rising behind her eyes, or at least notice that her chest was suddenly rising and falling a little faster than it had been in the moments before.
