Anyone? I froze at and set down the knife I was holding Slowly I turned around and glared at David He was ignoring lued on Alex

"I have no intention of hurting Samantha" Alex’s posture was relaxed, at odds with his words

"She’s been through enough I’ve watched her fight her way through the death of herjust for her to have to fight some more"

"David!" I felt my mouth fall open in shock How had the conversation turned into this?

"She’s likeher screwed over" His eyes turned to etically

"I can understand that" Alex stood up straight "But I think she can take care of herself"

"Just remember there are people, here in the real world, that love her" My heart squeezed with David’s words I had grown really close to everyone in the office David had been a big help when I was applying for a master’s position He wasn’t one for too much emotion, so to hear hi

Alex nodded his head and David turned back to Dover I stood there staring at the what on Earth had happened to my life

"Close your mouth, Sam" David didn’t look at loves off the floor and turned back to the task at hand

Alex’s phone rang and he walked away to answer it I could hear hi When I had finished cutting up the food, I split it up and went to deliver it to the birds in the building When I got back, David was finishing up his examination of Dover He put her back in her pen and replaced his gloves on the shelf

"See you later?" David looked atand I nodded my head

"Yeah Geller will be back tomorrow"

"I know" He turned to leave "See you then"

"David?" He stopped and looked atand leaving the way he came Alex was still on the phone, so I checked the ti I was almost finished by the time he was done with his conversation

"I didn’t mean to leave you with all the cleanup" Alex took the broom out of my hand
