[ It'll be a little more than an hour and some change before Valeria replies. The feed has long since idled out and, really, she realizes she shouldn't have done that. Slipped up like that and then walked off without covering her tracks a little better than she did. She didn't want to worry John, after all. She didn't want to worry anyone and that was exactly what she had succeeded in doing, it seemed.
So, when she activates the feed in response, she smiles easy. Expertly, even, because she can now that she's given herself that time out. Because whatever she felt, whatever she's feeling, whatever the problem is is hers to handle. She doesn't want to worry John or anyone else any more than she has. ]
