Legally, the custody of Tiana still belonged to her parents.

They didn't even have any real relation to the girl. He was pretty sure the only reason she was even here was because August had interfered.

"The only real option is for you to speak in court about the abuse you've gone through. If you do that, there's nothing they can do," Daniel said.
