Sam was actually gonna return the mp3 player to her. It was a nice gesture and all, but she didn't need to do it. It weren't Dorcas' fault he'd let his guard down that badly. Maybe Emma and Scott were right to have thrown him off the team.
And that video. His momma had asked about it when she emailed him and he'd spent a little while tracking it down on the internet. And watched it a few times when Adam was busy with the little gal who'd just been brought in. Retraction or not, it still stung to be made to look bad like that.
He was glad Dorcas was okay. And he was glad for the company. And that food smelled real good. "I been better," he admitted. "But I been worse too. How're you?" He nodded towards the container. "You didn't need to bring me, nothin'. It's nice to have somebody to talk to. Adam done kicked Jamie outta here a couple days ago. Got real quiet."
