As Spot walked with Echo to go to the nuns with the rest of the guys because they all wanted breakfast, he looked into her eyes. They were still masked with fear. She saw him looking at her and she smiled hoping to cover any fear that was still there, but she knew that it would be impossible. Spot knew her all to well, he knew everything about her, and more.
"You're gonna be okay," Spot whispered into her ear.
Echo looked over at him, "I, I hope so. I'm still weak, Spot, what if I can't make it through the day?"
"You will," He stated, kissing her forehead. "And if you can't, I'll be right here, to catch you and take you home."
She smiled knowing that he'd be by her side the whole day and then her fear began to ease. She got a roll, not wanting to eat it, but when Jack looked over at her, she knew she had to. So she took a bite and looked sick at the taste of it, she'd looked sick at just the sight of it. But she didn't think that eating it would be so hard, so bad. But she swallowed and ate two-thirds of the roll, before looking at Spot, begging him with her eyes to let her stop eating it.
He nodded his head and she gave it to him. So far, so good, she hadn't thrown up yet, and she hoped she wouldn't. But she couldn't guarantee her body anything right now. They made their way to the distribution center and she only bought fifty papes. Most of the guys looked at her because they weren't used to her buying less than 80, but she just shrugged it off. She walked over to Spot, nudging him because she was ready to go.
Spot understood and looked back at Jack, "Hey, Jack, we are gonna go now!"
Jack nodded and watched Spot and Echo walk off, praying that everything would go okay between the two of them, with Echo in the condition she was in, and knowing Spot, he'd worry about her more when they weren't around the rest of the guys. Jack shook his head and started hawking the headlines for that day, hoping to finish selling early.
Spot and waterfall had gone to other corners, right across from each other, to start selling, the headline today left quite a bit of room for improvement, iMurderer convicted in Brown's case/i, so Echo decided to make the best of it, "MANIAC CONVICTED OF THE BROWN'S MURDER!" Sure, it wasn't the best she could do, but she wasn't exactly thinking about selling the papers right now, she was too worried that the small roll she'd eaten earlier was about to come up.
Spot did as she did, and yelled something to improve the headline, but watched Echo the whole time, trying to make sure that nothing happened to her.
