“Still, it was nice of you and I thought maybe my f-fr-friend was there helping me not my assistant…” Greenlee trails off sentiments always being too much for her.

“Friend?  Yeah, I was sort of thinking that, too.”  Kendall agrees shyly as their dinner arrives.

The rest of the dinner is fairly silent except for comments on shopping and Kendall commenting that it was a big step for Greenlee to send cleaners to the loft.  Greenlee admitted it was hard, but had to be done.  Greenlee stands to leave along with Kendall.

“Thanks for dinner.  It was nice of you.”  Greenlee smiles for real at Kendall and Kendall’s heart jumps in pace.

“It was nothing.  Someone has to make sure that you eat and start taking better care of yourself.” Kendall smiles.

“I’ll catch up with you later then.  Perhaps sometime this weekend we can look at some of the color schemes for the new ad campaign?” 

“Of course, Boss.  As usual work, work, work.”  Kendall shakes her head.

Kendall watches discreetly as Greenlee walks out of the restaurant.  She smiles to herself as she sees Greenlee holding her head up high like she used to.  Kendall would like to think that maybe just maybe she had something to do with that. 

‘I can do this.  I can help her and not let her know how I feel.  I didn’t even know until last night and surely that won’t happen again.  I am strong enough even if it does.  I always could hide my feelings.  I can do this.’  She sighs and turns to look where Chris and Erica are just finishing their dinner.  She makes her way to them.

“I’m sorry to interrupt.”  Kendall begins.

“Kendall, can’t you just leave us in peace for once?!”  Erica sighs out.

“I really am sorry, Erica.  It will only take a minute and it has do with Chris not you.” Kendall keeps her voice even.

“Fine, Kendall.  I am waiting what is it?”  Chris sets his glass down looking at her suspiciously.

“I was wondering if you would just meet me in the lobby here in a moment after your dinner.  I have something I need to give you.” Kendall states calmly.
