It was early the next morning when Sam wakes up to find her hand was still held in Jason's and he was still sleeping. Sam knew Jason must really be exhausted if she woke up before he did. That rarely ever happened in all their time together. Mostly because Jason only needed about four to five hours of sleep to feel rejuvenated, while Sam usually required the suggested eight hours…sometimes even nine wouldn't hurt. Even now it wasn't very often that Sam beat Steven to the office. Staring down at his peaceful form Sam's thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door and her attention is drawn between Alexis who is walking in and Jason who had woken up at the sound of Alexis fist on the door. Jason won out and Sam's gaze was held in his.
Awake and alert Jason's gaze immediately wanders over Sam and he notices that at some point in the night she had shifted in her sleep so she was on her side facing him and their joined hands were held close to her chest. Jason was aware that someone had come into the room, but he didn't want to be bothered by that now. He brought his eyes up from their joined hands to stare into Sam's eyes and he saw her wariness and confusion staring back at him. He heard a feminine throat clear behind him and knew that any moment Sam would pull her hand away and break eye contact. Before she could pull away again Jason gave her hand a light squeeze and a small smile, to reassure her he was still there. Sam's lips looked like they were going to form a small smile in return, but in the next instant she is pulling her hand away to brush her hair out of her face before turning to face who ever had bothered them.
Annoyed at the interruption, but grateful that Sam's defenses are weakening Jason turned and had to hold back a groan when he saw Alexis standing at the foot of the bed, staring at him with a aggravated look on her face. "Good morning Alexis." Jason forces through clenched teeth, wanting to speak first to show he wasn't going to be the one to start the inevitable argument. He and Alexis didn't get along, never have and never would. There was so much blame and anger on both their parts for that to happen. She blamed him for all the danger that came to Port Charles and for constantly having put Sam in danger. He blamed her for convincing him to push Sam away after she was shot, because Alexis had done that Jason and Sam were never the same. Jason also couldn't stand the fact Alexis considered herself perfect and better than everyone else, when she was far from perfect and had no right to judge. Both would never get over their differences and Jason had tried to avoid the woman as much as possible. Before Sam came back it had been easy, but now he wasn't going to be so lucky.
"Jason." Alexis responds nodding her head in his direction before turning her gaze on Sam. "So I've heard the good news from Epiphany Sam. You're being released today…isn't that a bit soon?"
"Well Robin and Patrick both have to stop by this morning in give me a final check up if I pass I'll be released, but only in the care of someone who has to stay with me at all times." Sam says casting a quick glance at Jason before looking back at her mother. "And I have to stay here in Port Charles until they say so. I'm being released, but with lots of restrictions." Sam grumbles.
"Well I'm glad they're being careful, we wouldn't want you to overdo it and mess up your recovery." Alexis says, noticing all of Sam's quick glances at Jason. "So you're staying in Port Charles, that's wonderful news!" Hoping to get Sam's full attention Alexis comes to stand at the other side of the bed, cutting Jason out of the conversation completely and making it more difficult for Sam to be able to look at him. It was Alexis hope that Jason would take the hint and just leave, but she wasn't counting on it. "I'll get the guest room all set up for you so you can move in this afternoon." And then Jason will leave Sam alone since he couldn't stand Alexis and wouldn't want to be at her home for any length of time.
Jason had decided to sit silent while Alexis was there, but when she started offering a room to Sam Jason had to speak up. Sam wouldn't want to hurt her mother's feelings or scare Alexis with the reality of the situation with Jerry, but Jason didn't have the same problem. He thought Alexis needed a wakeup call to the fact that Sam was in danger and Alexis wasn't going to be able to get rid of him that easily. "Sam isn't going to be staying with you and the girls at the house."
Glaring at Jason, Alexis crosses her arms over her chest. "Sam is my daughter Jason. Who better to offer her a place to stay and watch over her during her recovery than her mother?"
"Her mother, who didn't have time to stay at the hospital…or even bother to visit her daughter until days after she had been admitted, what kind of mother is that? If Sam went to stay with you she would be more likely to harm herself since you wouldn't even be around Alexis." Jason retorts standing up so he was no longer looking up at Alexis but staring her straight in the eye.
"I have two daughters at home Jason. Who both are vulnerable right now and worried over their sister. They've needed me..."
"What if Sam needed you too Alexis?" Jason interrupts.
"They would've called if that were true." Alexis says shaking her head. "Who are you to judge anyways Jason? You're the reason Sam is in this predicament…"
"Not this again." Jason groans out rubbing a hand over his eyes.
"What? Hate having to admit that you're still a danger to my daughter? That whenever you're around you only hurt her more? Why don't you do us all a favor and just leave? Sam would be better off if you just…"
"You're not about to use that excuse again, are you Alexis?" Jason asks his voice heated his eyes angry. "You remember what happened the last time?"
"Things are different now." Alexis says reaching out to grab on to Sam's hand. "Sam doesn't want you around this time, do you sweetheart?"
It was the first time since the two had started arguing that either bothered to look at Sam. Who at first had been waiting with baited breath to get a word in, but soon realized she rather listen to the two of them argue now that her headache was gone. She knew that the two hated each other before she had left and while she was gone Alexis had never bothered to mention Jason's name to Sam. But listening to them now it sounded like their hatred had only gotten worse, but why? Now both were staring at Sam, waiting for her to play referee to their argument and Sam was speechless. Did she side with Alexis and tell Jason to leave her alone? It's what she had wanted so much when she first woke up in Port Charles, but now she wasn't so sure. Both were waiting, Alexis more impatient than Jason. Staring between the two Sam's gaze kept wandering back to Jason's. Staring into his blue depths Sam knew…now the hard part of admitting it. "Jason isn't going anywhere Alexis." Sam says shaking her head and turning back to stare at her mother in time to see Alexis eyes go wide and her jaw clenching. "Not as long as the threat of Jerry is still out there." Sam adds to soften the blow.
Jason felt a huge weight lift off of his shoulders at Sam's words. It was a huge step forward for them and he was grateful. Bring his gaze up quickly to Alexis he knew she wasn't happy, there glare she sent his way let him know she thought it was his fault. What else was new? "She's right Alexis…I'm not."
Alexis just glared at the man for a moment she needed the time to form the right words. "Fine. Then Jason can watch over you from the living room couch if he chooses. You're still more than welcome at the house Sam. I know the girls would love to have you there."
"Sam can't stay with you Alexis." Jason sighs and shakes his head.
"Jason you have no say over where Sam stays..."
"Sam is in danger Alexis. Jerry is out there right now planning his next move…do you want whatever it is to happen at your home? Where the girls could get hurt?"
"That wouldn't happen…" Alexis says shaking her head in a jerky motion, but she felt a small ounce of fear creep up her spine.
"But it will happen. You bringing Sam home could lead all that trouble right to your doorstep. Do you really want that?"
Alexis looked down at Sam who was looking down at her hands. She wanted nothing more to than to be able to open her home to Sam and have all three of her daughters staying under the same roof, but if that meant possible harm to Kristina and Molly than it just wasn't possible. "Sam…"
"He's right Alexis." Sam says shrugging her shoulders and bringing her gaze back up to her mothers. "It's too dangerous." Sam hated that she couldn't be with her sisters and mother. It was her first time back in Port Charles in two years and she wouldn't be able to really see anyone because it would put them in danger.
"Where will you be staying?" Alexis asks nodding her head in reluctant agreement.
Sam brings her gaze quickly towards Jason who was staring intently back at her. "I'm not quite sure yet." Sam says still staring at Jason. Watching as he frowns and looks down at his feet, his head shaking lightly…all were signs of his disappointment that Sam wouldn't agree to stay with him.
"Well just leave that to me." Alexis says quickly and smiling, happy to finally be of some use to her daughter.
Jason liked the sound of that, Alexis off on a scavenger hunt to find a place for Sam to stay. And while Alexis was off Jason and Sonny would have a chance to offer the old penthouse to Sam…hopefully they would even have her moved in before Alexis was finished. "That would be very helpful Alexis. Why don't you go and do that." Jason says, liking the idea of getting Alexis out of their hair.
Alexis gives Jason an inquisitive look while picking up her purse at the foot of the bed. "Well I appreciate your permission Jason, as pointless as it is." Turning back to her daughter Alexis frown turns into a smile. "I'll have a place for you in no time."
"Somewhere not very public! Also not in the heart of town! A good surveillance system wouldn't hurt!" Sam calls after her mother's disappearing back. When Alexis simply waves her hand without a backwards glance Sam lets out a long sigh. "She didn't listen to a single word I said, did she?"
"Probably not, but that's Alexis for you." Jason says rubbing the back of his neck. "She doesn't really listen to anyone…" Jason winces as his sore neck groans in protest, he really was going to enjoy sleeping in a bed again.
Sam had been watching Jason out of the corner of her eye and she saw the wince when he was trying to stretch. "Why are you putting yourself through so much discomfort Jason?"
"It's fine Sam…" Jason starts to shrug off her concern.
"Seriously Jason, I would've been fine last night. You could've stayed at the penthouse and slept in your own bed. I'm sure it would've been a lot more comfortable for you."
"We've been over this Sam." Jason shakes his head.
"I know Jason, it's too dangerous. With Jerry out there my life is at risk. You're not taking any chances." Sam says in a bored voice. "But it was one night Jason…really it was only like seven hours if you want to be technical. I'm sure who ever you have in place here at the hospital is more than qualified to play babysitter for that long."
Jason didn't bother to respond to that because it was true. Sonny and Jason always expected the best from the men and they both had let them all know that failure this time was not an option. If anything were to happen to Sam whoever responsible for the slip wouldn't want to be around when Jason found out. "I'm fine Sam."
"You're stubborn is what you are." Sam grumbles straightening her blanket.
"I'm the stubborn one." Jason says eyes wide. "This coming from you."
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Sam asks in mock outrage.
Jason felt the corners of his mouth twitching and he really tried to hold off his smile, but it wasn't working. Reaching out to grab on to the hand he had held through the night Jason's smile broke through when Sam actually let him. "Sam I…" But he stops at the sound of the door opening and they're interrupted again. Silently cursing whoever it was Jason turns and holds back a groan.
"So I have to hear from Spinelli and Maxie that you're being released from the hospital." Stephen says standing at the foot of the bed a wide smile on his face. "Me, your closest friend and business partner had to hear the news from someone else."
"Well in Fair Samantha's defense the Jackal heard from Stonecold late last night the wondrous news of her release and Maximista being my betrothed and the Goddess' friend she would obviously be the first I informed. I'm sure if she had the chance Fair Samantha would have wanted to share her news with you herself." Spinelli says, him and Maxie coming to stand on the opposite side of the bed.
Stephen chuckles at cyber genius quick defense of Sam. "I know Spinelli, but if I didn't give Sam grief she would be worried I was ill." When Sam just rolls her eyes his smile grows. "The last thing I would want is for Sam to be worrying about me when she already has so much to deal with…I mean severe gunshot wounds, attacks made in hospitals…not to mention a body guard who is swoon worthy." Stephen can't help but add the last part causing both Sam and Jason to glare in his direction. "It's everything you talked about and more." Stephen keeps on talking ignoring the look Sam gave him. He also noticed Jason was no longer glaring, but seemed quite interested in what else he might say.
"Sam told you about Port Charles?" Jason can't help but ask, earning him a few curious looks from both Spinelli and Maxie.
"Nothing crucial about yours and Sonny's business." Sam quickly adds.
"No Sam never divulged more than the most limited of details…mostly just what her life was like before she was lucky enough to have met me." Stephen quickly says, realizing that if Jason thought Sam had run her mouth off after leaving Port Charles would probably not be a great idea. That would just make his job a whole lot harder if that happened. "In fact she spoke very little about you until most recently when the teenagers decided to go on the run. Until then I heard mostly about her family and this charming pair, who I spoke with on few occasions." Stephen says nodding the direction of Maxie and Spinelli. "How you ever managed to stay away so long Sam is beyond me. What with these two for friends, the suspense from your family, and then this attractive…"
"That's enough Stephen!" Sam says quickly, giving him the evil eye before casting a glance at Jason to see his gaze was now looking out the window. "You've had your fun." She says bring her eyes back to stare at her three friends. "What are you all doing here? Don't you have better things to do?"
"Are you kidding?" Maxie says reaching out to brush back Sam's bangs. "When Spinelli told me this morning you were being released I was half way out the door. On my way here trying to stop you from leaving Port Charles when he was finally able to stop me long enough to give me then condensed list of conditions Robin and Patrick had given you. Wow…never thought those two would be so strict! Parenting has sure toughened them both up. Who would've guessed, right?" Maxie says in one long drawn out breath.
"Yea…right..." Sam says, only catching about half of everything Maxie had said, but her attention was then drawn to Stephen.
"I was on my way here to visit you. Ready to tell you all about the nice old man named Mike who owns Kelly's, he was more than willing to share stories about you. Quite enjoyable might I add." Stephen smirks at Sam's frown. "I ran into a snare getting past the guard on the elevator however and if it wasn't for these two I would probably still be down there trying to explain I was a friend of yours." He turns his attention towards Jason. "Buckingham Palace has nothing on your men." Stephen adds in admiration.
"Yes well they know what is at stake if they screw up." Jason says clearing his throat and looking a little uncomfortable with everyone looking at him.
"Well I appreciate you keeping Sam safe."
"Stonecold would never let anything happen to Fair Samantha and vice-versa." At Spinelli's words an awkward silence fills the hospital room. Sam and Jason's gazes had been straying towards each other, but now both were working hard to avoid each other's gaze. Both were remembering a time when neither had been concerned with protecting the other…a time that was so dark and painful for both.
Clearing his throat Stephen gets everyone to draw their attention back to him. "So now that you're being released, but unable to return home what are you going to do? I'm sure Mike would be more than welcome to let you stay at Kelly's for free…he is a big fan of yours, if I do say so myself."
"As if!" Maxie says in outrage, crossing her arms over her chest. "Sam is going to be moving in with me. I've already spoken with Lulu and she has no problem with it. Our space is a little cramped though so if the couch is too uncomfortable we could always…"
"I appreciate both the offers, but I'm going to have to say no." Sam shakes her head. "I don't want to put you and Lulu in any danger Maxie, or Mike and Kelly's, for that matter. Which is exactly what would happen if I stayed at either place."
"Well that's just ridiculous." Maxie frowns.
"Sam's a moving target right now." Jason says, before Sam has a chance to speak. "Jerry isn't going to stop at anything to get what he wants, which is her silence." He takes his time staring the three of them in the eye, his gaze landing on Stephen's last. He was pretty sure Spinelli understood the risk Sam was under and that he had done his best to relay the information to Maxie. It was Stephen who Jason was unsure understood what they were dealing with. "Jerry is a terrorist who doesn't concern himself with innocent victims."
"So what's your plan?" Stephen asks, not breaking under the pressure of Jason's gaze. He may like to kid around and was working on earning his cupid wings, but that didn't mean he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation.
"Surely Fair Samantha could move into Stonecold's humble abode?" Spinelli offers. "Where security and weaponry is plentiful, where I could be at the Goddess's beck and call at the drop of a hat, where Stonecold could…"
"You mean where Jason would be able to keep Sam locked up so none of us can see her?" Maxie says, hoping that if she tried to make Jason the bad guy the Sam would jump to his defense. Spinelli had filled her in on the fact Sam had been angry with Jason yesterday, which meant that she was trying to push him away to protect herself. Maxie understood the impulse, but she still wanted to shake her friend. It was obvious that she had feelings that needed to be addressed and so did Jason. But both were too stubborn to do anything about it. That's where she, Spinelli, and Stephen came in. "I don't think so. Besides I don't want to have to go over to that man-cave you two like to call a home just to see my friend. She needs to be in a more warm and welcoming environment. Sam needs…."
"Sam needs you all to stop." Sam says raising a hand to rub her brow, she felt a headache coming on. With her eyes closed she could feel all eyes in the room on her and she felt the warm hand the enveloped hers, turning and opening her eyes she saw Jason's blue ones staring back at her
"Are you feeling alright?" He asks his voice quiet. "Should I call Patrick?"
Sam saw the concern in his eyes and for a moment she wanted nothing more than to lean on him, but she couldn't forget the last time she had done that and she had got burned. "I'm fine." She says and with much effort forces her gaze back to her friends, all looked almost as concerned as Jason. "Seriously. Just a little headache, but nothing to worry about…nothing so dire that Patrick needs to rush in here."
"But should the Goddess be released if…"
"Don't say it!" Sam shouts holding up a hand to silence Spinelli. "I am fine. I won't spend a minute longer than necessary in this hospital. I will be released today."
"Where will you be going?" Maxie asks uncrossing her arms. "Spinelli might have point…Jason's penthouse would probably be the safest place for you…Unless Jason isn't willing to let you move in for the time being. That is so rude Jason! Sam needs a place to stay that she can be safe! Granted your place isn't very welcoming, but…"
"I told Sam she should move in to the penthouse temporarily. She said no."
All eyes turn to Sam and she didn't like being put on the spot. "I don't want to move back in there!" Is all she can say in her defense. Apparently that was good enough for her friends who then started talking together trying to figure out where Sam could go…leaving her and Jason to sit in silence and watch. They were all oblivious to the opening of the door and the person who entered.
"Am I interrupting?" Sonny practically shouts to be heard over the rest of the noise.
Sam was the first to speak after the room falls into complete silence. "No…of course not, come in Sonny. Join the circus."
"Good morning Mr. Sir." Spinelli says ducking his head…this didn't go unnoticed by Sam. Apparently Sonny still hadn't warmed to the computer genius the way Jason and Sam had.
"So this is the mobster." Stephen says eyeing Sonny up and down. "He's smaller than I pictured."
"Stephen!" Sam practically shrieks with an alarmed look at Sonny, but was relieved to find he looked more amused than annoyed.
"So you're Sam's business partner." Sonny says sparing Stephen a quick second glance before coming to stand at Jason's side. "What's with you two and the strange strays?" Sonny asks nudging Jason's shoulder and smiling at Sam.
"Stephen is an indispensable friend and I won't allow you to pick on him Sonny." Sam says, only half kidding. "Understand?" She asks, lightening her words with a smile.
"Understood." Sonny nods his head and smiling in return. He always had liked how Sam always stood up for herself and those she cared about. She never backed down.
"So what brings you by Sonny?" Jason asks before anyone else can say anything. He knew that Alexis would be hurriedly working to try and find someplace for Sam and Jason didn't know how much more time he had before Robin would show up asking what Sam's plans were.
"Stopping by to check up on Sam, being sure that she's being taken care of."
"Thank you Sonny, but you really didn't have to do that."
"I want to…I owe you for a lot Sam."
"You don't owe me…"
"Sam. You risked your life to save both of my children. So please…" Sonny says interrupting Sam and reaching out to grasp her hands. "Just let me do this."
Sam wanted to argue with him, but what was the point? He meant well. "Alright, but I'm being released today Sonny so you really don't have to concern yourself."
Sonny looked at Jason for guidance in this situation. He didn't know if he should act surprised by the news or not. When Jason gave an almost imperceptible shrug of his shoulders Sonny looked back at Sam and pasted on a big smile, dimples and all. "Jason mentioned something about that last night." Sonny decides to be honest instead of insult Sam's intelligence. She would know that when Jason left the hospital last night he would probably go to either him or Carly. "He also mentioned that there was an issue with where you would be staying while you were recovering."
Rolling her eyes Sam gives Jason an annoyed glance before staring back at Sonny. "Let me guess you're here to try and convince me that he is right and I have no other choice than his penthouse? Well save your breath Sonny, because I'm not doing it. I told you that Jason, why can't you just accept that?"
Jason was unsure with what to say in response. "I have…I do." Looking at the others in the room for help he isn't surprised when they all purposefully avoid his gaze. No one wanted to be on the receiving end of Sam's anger. "I still think it would be better if you…"
"Better? Better for who Jason?"
"Jerry is out there and I just want to keep you safe." Jason says ignoring Sam's outburst. "My opinion hasn't changed, but I understand that you don't agree with me."
"So you called in reinforcements." Sam sighs. "Well it doesn't matter Jason, nothing is going to…"
"Jason didn't ask me to come by Sam." Sonny cuts in stopping her from tearing into Jason again. Sonny didn't know how much more his friend could really take. "I stopped by on my own. I think I might have a solution to your problem."
"Mr. Sir… is this you suggesting that the Goddess is welcome to move in with you and Vixenella?"
"You can't be serious!" Maxie says laughing.
Sam was shocked silent, but it didn't last long. "Sonny that's really thoughtful, but I really don't want to put you out. Not to mention it sounds like Jerry is foolish enough to try and attack me anywhere I go…including at your home."
"You're right. Jerry really wouldn't have any second thoughts about attacking you at my home. And normally I wouldn't even think twice about offering you a place there, some whack job like Jerry Jax doesn't scare me, but as of last night my home life has gotten a little more complicated. With Carly and the boys moving back in…"
"No of course not." Sam immediately agrees. "I wouldn't want to risk Michael and Morgan, or Carly for that matter."
"So does that mean that Sam is still homeless?" Stephen asks. He was getting lost in the references and he didn't really recognize any of the names. Sam was always very tight-lipped about Port Charles and even though he desperately wanted to know more. Right now all that really mattered was if she was being taken care of.
"Sam can't be homeless…" "Surely the Fair Samantha…" Maxie, Spinelli, and Stephen all start speaking at once, all concerned for Sam.
"Sam isn't homeless." Sonny sighs, squeezing the bridge of his nose to relieve the headache he felt coming on. "I said I had a solution, why would I say that if I didn't mean it?" When nobody responds Sonny turns back to Sam. "I can't offer you a place at Greystone, but I still own the penthouse across from Jason's in Harborview Towers. It hasn't been used in a few years, but it's still furnished…" Sonny's voice fades as the silence in the room becomes almost deafening. "What?" He asks when he realizes all eyes, except for Jason's were on him. Jason was too busy staring at Sam, whose expression was unreadable.
"You're talking about the penthouse right across the hall from Jason's right?" Maxie asks for clarification. She had been hoping that Sam would have no other choice, but to move in with Jason and Spinelli, making her job that much easier. But this could work even better.
"Yes it does happen to be right across the hall." Sonny says silently cursing the younger woman, leave it to Maxie to point out what be the drawback in Sam's eyes. "I happen to think of it as a compromise." Sonny shrugs his shoulders.
"A compromise how?" Stephen asks, he didn't know if trusted Sonny or not. For some reason he felt like there was a hidden agenda here, something about the whole offer felt too planned and thought out.
"Sam moving into Harborview across the hall from Jason gives him the ability to protect her and Sam isn't forced to do something she doesn't want. Win, win situation in my opinion." When Sam still doesn't say anything Sonny looks at Jason for guidance on how to proceed, but Jason looked as confused as he felt. "That is if you're ok with it Sam."
Sam didn't know what to say. It did make the most sense since Jason could easily protect her from across the hall, but it still left her feeling raw inside. With a quick glance at Jason she saw that he was waiting for her to say something, what Sam wasn't quite sure. "What do you think?"
"I think it's up to you." Jason shrugs his shoulders. He wasn't going to give Sam the opportunity to say no, which he feared she might do if she knew that Jason was hoping she would accept Sonny's offer.
Annoyed that Jason didn't give away any of his own thoughts Sam sighs. "Can you protect me from across the hall?" She asks in return.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Jason says without a moment's hesitation. "But that's the same for wherever you stay. I'm going to do anything in my power to be sure Jerry gets nowhere near you."
Sam could see the determination in his eyes and knew he meant it. Now she just had to decide if she could handle living so close to Jason and the home they had created. Even thinking about it caused Sam's heart to constrict. "I don't know…" Sam says her voice quiet. "What do you think?" Sam asks turning to Maxie and Spinelli.
"Well Fair Samantha the Jackal would love nothing better than to have you across the hall where he would be able to visit whenever able."
"I think its fabulous idea. And I can stay with you to help and keep you company. And to be just across the hall from Spinelli would be wonderful." Maxie says cheerfully. Sam offered a weak smile, but still was unsure. Their enthusiasm did little to help her decide.
Jason knew time was limited, Robin and Patrick would be stopping by at any moment and he knew Alexis would be back soon. Sam needed to accept Sonny's offer. "Sam…" Jason draws her attention to him, but the sound of the door opening causes him to silently curse. He was out of time.
"Well good morning everyone." Robin says with a bright smile. "So I'm sure you all heard the good news." She says reaching for Sam's chart to read the notes from the night. When nothing stands out as a problem Robin returns it and looks up at Sam. "So have you decided what you're going to do?"
"I…uh?" Sam bites down on her bottom lip and looks from Robin to Sonny, before her gaze finally lands on Jason who was staring back at her. Could she do it? Did she want to even try?
Again I am so SORRY for taking so long. I'm off now to start on the next chapter in hopes that it won't take as long! Thank you all who are still reading this! And a special thanks to the reviewers…you all are amazing!
