Are you okay Samuel Have you been eating well Is anyone bothering you Wendy asked
Stanley watched Wendy as she spoke her face filled with genuine concern for Samuel The worry and care were unmistakable not race of it being forced
Stanley turned away unwilling to look or listen

There was a pause on the other end Samuel didn task why he always supported whatever decision Wendy made Alright Don t worry about me I m doing just fine
Wendy held the phone her eyes lost in the view of the twinkling city lights outside the window After the surgery let s get out of Hove n dale I don t want to stay here anymore
When Stanley heard her words his proud figure stiffened his body rigid Wendy wanted to leave

Stanley nodded.”Okay.”
Wendy stood up her words clear You can go now I ve said everything I needed to say
Stanley didn t move He stood there looking at Wendy Are you really leaving
Wendy didn t raise her eyes Yes
Stanley s voice grew softer Where will you go
Wendy turned her gaze toward him but her eyes were cold That s none of your business
Stanley s long fingers curled into a fist tightly gripping the phone
Wendy lifted her eyes to meet his Is there something else you want to say
Stanley opened his mouth to speak but seeing Wendy s guarded stance the memory of their current situation and the presence of Jessica the words died in his throat He said nothing
Stanley turned and walked away
