"He's, um." She thought about him for a moment. "He comes off as very distance. He doesn't like really talking about himself and he and Maria argue a lot, but that's just because Michael is not a talker and Maria definitely is." Liz couldn't help the fond smile that spread across her features. "He's guarded, but really loyal and he'd do anything for Max or Isabel or Maria."
She paused, her expression faltering just a little. "He didn't have a good time growing up. Max and Isabel were found by the Evans and they adopted them and they're great. Michael... his foster dad wasn't very nice to him. He drank a lot and, um. hit him." She let her eyes move down to Peter's finger on her knee. It would be a lie to say the touch went unnoticed, but at the moment she was just thoughtful.
"He, um. Well, Michael petitioned to be an emancipated minor, so he has his own apartment now and he's doing a lot better." She smiled.
