...you could die of frostbite.

Have you noticed any changes in Aria in the past few weeks?

I filled out an application last Monday.

What, to teach?

- Can I ask you a question? - Sure.

They called and said they needed proctors. I'm on the sub list.

- And then on Wednesday. - Yeah. This week's been intense.

Sweetie, I was going to when you came over for dinner.

I just, you know... I would like to see you in the flesh.

And, um, when she's hurt and wants to shut you out...

Oh, I tried calling you, but your phone must be turned off for the test.

MAN Attention all students, please return to the library for your SAT...

If I did, it'd be like saying I'm okay with you and Dad living apart.

But then you canceled on Monday. And Tuesday.

But you don't really plan on ever coming over, do you?

Since they cut my hours at the gallery and I'm paying rent to live above it.

No wonder Aria talks so highly about you.

- Can you shine that over here? - Sure.

I only ask because, um, my husband and I, we separated...

...and I was wondering if and how that's affecting Aria at school.

It's not a question you can directly ask your kid.
