"Everything here is," Ashley answered, watching him carefully. "Maybe I'll call him for you, if you ask nicely." Pro-tip, she probably wouldn't. She didn't quite trust Tesla enough for that.

She did shrug at his question. "People come and go here all the time. My guess is she's back at home and enjoying life again. She's always got something to do." She wouldn't even say she was jealous, even if it was partially true. Really, she was just angry that the aliens or whoever was responsible had seen fit to give her two months with her mother and then snatch Helen away from her again. It was far worse than if she'd never been there to begin with.
