"You're quiet tonight Lee."

Carol spoke carefully as she looked at the girl across the table. In three years Lee had changed so much from the incoming ninth grader she had met the day her daughter Amanda started at St Anthony's high school. Little did she know then, within six months of knowing Lee, she would be living with them and finally moved out of temporary foster care situations. Carol and George might be permissive parents, but Carol and her husband always suspected that moving in with their family was the best thing that had happened to Lee in a very long time.

Lee pushed her spoon around in her soup without showing any real interest in it.

"I just hate going there."

"To the prison?"

Amanda questioned with a smile on her face.
"Thanks Amanda, way to soften the blow."

The blonde sitting next to Lee at the oak dining table kicked Lee's leg playfully.

"I try I try, just keeping you honest."

George Parker was a good man and a fair man. He worked his way up in the world and ended up a very successful lawyer in New York. Bringing Lee into his family was never a question for him, they had more than they needed, they had the room, all three members of the family adored her, and therefore, she should live with them. So it was upsetting to him to see Lee so out of sorts. Running a hand through his grey streaked brown hair, he spoke as diplomatically as he could.

"Just go and listen. That's all you need to do. If you get uncomfortable, just leave, that agent, Burke, I'm sure he'll bring you back whenever you want to go. It might be nice to see your father for a little while."

Lee nodded; she could appreciate George's opinion and valued it most of the time.

"I know, and I know I sound like such an asshat when I say, oh, I don't like visiting my dad, its just, he makes things so difficult. Like, this sounds awful, but, it's just easier to forget about him you know? He was supposed to be getting out, and that might have been alright, but then he breaks out of jail for Kate and gets himself put in again. So, it's like, what do you want from me Neal? To visit you like some doting child for the rest of my life. I, I don't know, it's just all so complicated with him. I love him, I do, but god, he just can't do anything right can he."

Lee's voice cracked slightly as she finished her sentence and she rose from the seat as tears welled in her eyes. She spoke quietly as she excused herself from the table.

"I'll be right back."

Amanda looked back at the sight of Lee walking from the table and was frowning by the time she turned to her parents.

"It's weird seeing her upset. Kind of gives me the chills you know? She's been so unflappable since the day we met."

Carol smiled at her daughter, "I know baby, none of us like it. Hopefully tomorrow will be the end of this mess for a while at least."

Lee looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She never really knew her mother; Lindsay, who took off when she was three. She had seen photos, but there wasn't really a very strong resemblance between the two. Unfortunately, Lee seemed to be all Caffrey. Pulling her hair away from her face, she looked at the girl in the mirror. The girl had fair skin which always seemed to get a light shade of bronze this time of year, her blue eyes mirrored her fathers with their bright color, her even nose even bore a strong resemblance to Neal's. Most of the time Lee wished genetics hadn't worked quite that well in her case.

"Come on Caffrey, pull yourself together."

Lee encouraged herself as she walked out the bathroom door to rejoin her surrogate family in the dining room.
