Angie's temper almost flared— but she had learned long ago to keep it in check. She had to remind herself that he was young, they had little to no relationship outside letters. "I think you probably like to eat hot food and I know how to cook." Nothing terribly fancy, but enough to get by and she could learn more, if needed. Angie was quick to learn, all it would take was some recipes and everything would be fine. Her budget didn't allow for too much, but she could splurge every once in a while.

"I also think that you're twelve and it's terribly irresponsible to leave you here by yourself." That their parents seemed to leave their responsibility here, wasn't a surprise, but Angie could figure it out in the meantime. "I could stay here, if you'd rather." Less convenient for her and she still had to go to work, so he would still be by himself during the day; maybe that would be easier here, if he wanted. It would be awkward if Marius and Rebekah did return, but that could be handled if or when it happened.
