Back to Work
Marci and Russell entered to find Arianna sitting on her sofa drying her eyes. She smiled as they entered and walked up to Marci.
"Thanks for taking care of everyone out there. I just can't face all of them right now. What would I do without you?" she said giving her a hug.
"Your welcome. You needed me. I could do no less. Besides you would be totally lost without me." Marci laughed.
"You may be right." Arianna sighed.
"It's good to see you almost back to your normal self." Russell smiled.
"Thanks for your help as well Russell. You are all the things Erik says and so much more." she said hugging him.
"You really had everyone worried. You should have seen them all out there wanting to see you." Marci said as she shook her head.
"I know. We heard them loud and clear in here. Not to mention your little speech." Arianna laughed.
Erik smiled at the sound of her laugh. He was afraid he might never hear it again. Doyle's death had hurt her deep but she was getting better with the help of her friends. What worried him though was how she would be when there would be no one to turn to for comfort. Her being alone concerned him, he knew all to well how silence can bring back the pain. He had to keep an eye on her to let her know that no matter what he would be there when she needed him.
"Okay everyone, I'm fine. Now back to work all of you." Arianna commanded with a laugh.

Okay I know a rather short, boring chapter. The next one will be so much better I promise.
