Marco grunted,
"Elle mentions Sam doesn’t go out nor see anyone and you say she’s fine?" he asked, taken aback.
Levi huffed annoyed at all the noise the bearded man was making, "She’s alive. So she’s fine." he replied lightly.

Sam stood by the kitchen sink, drinking coffee. To Marco, she looked like she was staring at the window, but he knew otherwise.
"Sam?" the bearded man called her attention, then her stiff shoulders relaxed visibly. She turned to the source of his voice, recognizing it immediately. She noticed it had a hint of gentleness on its edges, patience too, practiced patience dealing with the blond psychologist.
"Marco, what can I do for you?" she asked, holding the warm cup between her hands.
Marco scanned her,
"I just came by to see how you are doing. How are you?" he asked, feeling like he was walking on eggshells. He could see she was far from fine as Levi emphasized.
