Clark could see that she was upset, but had no idea as to the cause so he stood and walked with her to the conference room, his hand at the small of her back. He could feel the tension in her body which added to his concern. As soon as they were inside he closed the door and the blinds then he turned to her. He could see that she was having difficulty restraining tears. In a comforting tone, he asked, "All right, what happened?"
Stepping to him and throwing her arms around his neck, she sobbed, "Oh, Clark, they accused me of child abuse."
To be accused of something like that is just downright hateful!
