"Oh Lexi, I'm so sorry. It's just... when I saw you..." The Librarian chewed her bottom lip, trying to find the words. Still, she wanted answers. No one hurt her kids. Especially not Lexi Denver.
She took the box from the girl, managing only the smallest of smiles through her very concerned expression. When she opened the box, she looked down at her gifts with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you, Lexi. They're beautiful," she whispered.
When she looked back up, she gave Lex a look full of mixed emotions.
"Come straight to my office in the morning, dear. No excuses, okay?" Quote:

Kimber tilted her head towards Hecate - where Max couldn't see her - and smiled. It was good to see Hecate was back and the daydreaming gone.

Slowly lowering the chair back onto the floor again, Jeremy sat on it but did not push it back to the staff table. Not as long as the puppy was still that close. "Don't laugh!" Catching Kimber's smile, he couldn't help but grin back slightly, running a hand through his hair to calm down again. He was going to poke her if she did. He totally would.
Kimber continued petting the puppy as she watched Jeremy take his seat.
"I'm not!" she said back, mocking his tone with a smile. Then, in a much more sincere, quieter voice,
"I promise." Quote:

Hearing her name, Kimber turned towards Chad's voice.
"Do you think so, Mr. Stryker?" she called back, holding the puppy closer and grinning back.
"I've never considered a dog." Perhaps now she would. Or she could always just keep this one. Finders, keepers and whatnot.
