Alex stood in the living room trying to settle himself down. He'd had a rough week worrying about Jen and all he'd really gotten done was upsetting himself. Now he was tired and his nerves were worn. Alex could only hope that things would look up a little bit soon. He ran his hands down over his face before flopping down on the couch with a sigh.

Dog comes running in and jumps up on the couch beside Alex. Where Dog is, Jen usually isn't far behind. She'd spent the majority of the week in bed, terrified out of her mind. This would be the week she lost Lucie.

Alex reached over to pet Dog waiting for Jen to appear. He knew the little dog was an excellent early warning system.

The little dog lays his head on Alex's thigh and makes himself right at home. A few minutes later, Jen comes in.

Alex kept petting Dog waiting for Jen. He looked over her subtly when she came in,"Hey."

"Hi," she says, catching his subtle-but-not-stealthy once-over. "I'm okay," she adds, but she looks scared to even breathe.

"You should come sit with me,"he saw the fear and hoped he could help settle her down a little. The stress wasn't good for anyone.

As she crosses the room, she says, "Only if you feed me," and sits beside him.

"What are you wanting me to feed you?" He tilted his head looking over at her.

"Tomato soup," she says, but curls up against him.

[greeneyedspy]

He kissed the top of her head,"You'll have to let me up so I can make your soup."

She nods and steals a few more minutes before her stomach growling forces her to pull back.

[greeneyedspy]

He brushed his lips over her cheek before standing and making his way to the kitchen.

As he goes, she pulls Dog into her lap.

[greeneyedspy]

He worked quickly not wanting to spend any more time away from her than he had to.

Dog decides to climb all over Jen, butting his head against her cheek.

After a few minutes Alex came back out carrying a bowl of soup and a package of oyster crackers.
