“I’m just glad you’re okay,” says Marshall.

“Can I get you anything?” Lucy asks.

“No, I’m fine. Thank you.”

“Yeah, I think that would be best right now. Thank you.”

“Why don’t you guys head out, I’ll be right behind you,” Owen says to Marshall and Lucy as he stands and tries to corral them like horses.

“Actually, Marshall? Would you mind sticking around?” I peer into his eyes, pleading with him.

“Of course I’ll stay.”

“Owen, I’ll catch up with you a little while later today, alright?” I stand and give him a hug. “Thank you. You know how much I appreciate everything you do.”
