Comfort All Around
Marci stood in the doorway watching Arianna and Erik crying together. Her eyes still red from reading the report herself. Doyle had been one of her favorites as well and she felt her own loss. She turned to see The Mistress of Solitude and Russell coming down the hall.
"How is she?" Russell asked as The Mistress of Solitude rushed past them to her daughter's side.
"Not too good." Marci said softly, "She hasn't stopped crying."
"Poor thing. She is taking this whole thing so hard." he said looking in on Erik and The Mistress of Solitude comforting her, "How are you doing?"
"I'll be fine." she said wiping a tear away, "I will feel much better when I know that Arianna will be okay."
"She'll be fine someday." he said as he closed the door to give them some privacy.
"I know she will be. She's so strong. And she would never let anything stand in the way of her job. She just has to get over the shock." she said.
Before long almost all of the muses she was in charge of were huddled outside her office door. They were all very concerned about their favorite head muse. And wanted more than anything to help her in anyway they could.
Marci finally got them to settle after a couple of minutes, "Everyone I know you want to help Arianna. And the best way to do that is to continue to do a wonderful job. Now everyone please go back to work. I will tell her that you were all concerned and you know that she will appreciate it. In fact she will end up thanking each and every one of you personally."
Smiles broke out in the crowd as Marci spoke. They knew what she said was true; Arianna would not want any artist to go without their muse for one second for her sake. She had such a big heart and she would thank them all personally for their concern. With those thoughts in their head they all headed off to work, leaving Marci and Russell alone.
"Shall we see how she's doing?" Russell asked.
"She might appreciate it." Marci smiled as she opened the door.
So there you have it another chapter. Not a very good chapter but it's another one. Please review, the more I get the happier I am and the happier I am the more I write.
