His blue gaze flicks from her to the couch and then back to her. Then he follows what he’s told to do and approaches the couch, sitting by her.

He says nothing, he just rests his hands in his lap.

“When you’re faced with a situation step back and think through what to do instead of diving in head first.”

He gave a shrug, and now he feels weird because he’s said so much. But he hopes it helps.

Sammy was only 23, he did not have the wisdom of a monk to give to Cece. He was still navigating life as a first time human. He pauses, placing the shovel on the ground.
