OM:
Samantha moved over to her friend's side putting an arm around her. She
hadn't seen her so nervous in years. It just wasn't something Reese did.
"He's just a guy," she whispered, "nothing to be afraid of. Now me Imight
have reason to worry," she grinned at her friend, referring to her ony
conversation with the man.
NM:
Reese showed her the dish towel with a small worried expression. And that
Milo had gone suddenly quite and wasn't saying anything......
She then looked over at the door as the others came in and motioned that she
was going to have a seat at the kitchen table, taking the remote phone with
her and grinning a little as Claire and Brady made themselves comfortable
against the counter to wait.
It felt good to have friends like she had. Sam who was more like a sister
and knew what she couldn't tell others and was even now working on calming
her down -- and Claire and Brady, rock solid with each other and those they
considered friends, ready to help no matter what.
