Aarti paused at Max's question, she was trying to add up all the days.
However, Alex didn't say anything, he had decided that he would help Taylor do whatever she was planning to do with the rope and tarp and whatnot.
The stupid idea was, well, stupid, but it wouldn't be any better for Alex to just sit around and do nothing.

Aarti pouted, how long exactly had it been? She had found Alex and Leo and another kid while they were on their way to Atlanta, but when had that been? She didn't keep track of the time anymore, what was the point?
She also wasn't very good at math, that wasn't helping her.

"Six years." Alex answered the question before Aarti was able to. He didn't realize he said anything until the girl argued with him.
"No, it hasn't been that long." Aarti looked at Max, "We've been together for awhile, but it hasn't been-"
"Its been six years." Alex repeated, his voice flat. He turned his attention back to Taylor,
"What do you want me to do?"
