It had been a long day by the time Chris reached Michelle's house. The night before she had barely slept and was beginning to forget what it was like to sleep for more than four or five hours a night.
She stalled at the bottom of the front steps, debating whether to stay or leave. I didn't call. It's not like they had been expecting me. After a long day at work, she barely the energy to go through with this.
But if she didn't do it now, then when?
With a sigh, Chris heads up the stairs and rings the door bell.

She's glad they're near the bed so she can sit and not collapse. "He must be concerned," she says almost to herself and then looks up at Chris. "Have you seen Jack and Chase? How are they?" She's thought about them, wondering if they were okay and she knows that alive doesn't equal okay.

At the door, Linda knocks and pushes it open. She sees her daughter sitting in silence next to Chris.
"It's getting late. Are you staying for dinner?" She asks Chris.

She looks back over at Chris, "You don't have to stay."

We all need somebody to lean on.
